OASIS: Carving - August

OASIS (Outdoor Adventure Steeped In Story) Carving!

OASIS is a fully outdoor, nature immersed opportunity for kids to lead their adventure through exploration and imagination while being supported in social-emotional development and risk assessment. With a focus on Deep Nature Connection and storytelling, kids will play games, wildcraft, sneak, hide, start fires with traditional tools, build forts, share gratitude,  tell stories, scamper up and over downed trees, listen to stories, and whatever else their imaginations create.

OASIS: Carving will have all the components of a regular OASIS day with an additional focus on carving. Kids will be taught basic carving safety and introductory carving skills. The focus is on safety and practice - there will be many pointy sticks carved. OASIS: Carving will also be offered June 13th. Being that the focus is on safety and practice, kids can sign up for both. There will also be hours of playing, stories, games, gratitude, climbing, etc woven through our day. 

Knives will be provided. 

If your child has a fixed (not folding) knife or a folding knife that locks (not most Swiss Army knives) and they would bring like to bring their own they may with mentor permission.
