Summer Fun for Kids

A Week in the WoodsSponsor: weekinthewoods.

orgAges: 7-107Dates: June 25-29Location: Tanana Valley

State ForestDescription: A Week in

the Woods is an opportunity for adults and youth to work side by side, inventing and cre-ating objects from the natural resources found in the forest. WITW values the interaction between youth and adults in the artistic process, however, WITW is not a dedicated youth camp and youths 18 years old and younger must be accom-panied by adults who are not

only responsible for them, but who plan to learn along with them. (Teenagers, age 16-18, won’t necessarily have to work with their adult co-learner on projects.) Adults also provide the coaching and guidance nec-essary for youth to focus and complete their ideas. WITW instructors are skilled crafts-men and encouraging teach-ers, but they do not provide the discipline and persuasion often necessary to help youth carry out their plans. Adults are ultimately responsible for the progress of their youth co-learners.

Cost: $425http://weekinthewoods.orgContact: Rebecca Levey,

ize their own potential for lead-ership and future endeavors. Application deadline is June 1. (Applications will be accepted after that date on a space-available basis.)
