What fun we have each late fall creating the next summers’
programs. We imagine all of the joyful and exhilarating
things we can do with students and plan on how to bring
them into fruition.
Come early fall base camp slowly becomes quieter and
quieter as the summer ends, the semester students leave
for Ecuador and the school groups come and go. We have
trickles of students throughout the winter months and
are blessed with monthly visits from the local waldorf
school children. Soon will begin the spring programs most
of which travel off campus. By May we are craving the
return of our summer students and the joy and laughter
and life they bring to Kroka.
This summer we have added some exciting new programs
welcoming to students both returning and new. First of
all we are very happy about a new collaborative effort
with our friends and neighbors at the Orchard School.
We will be joining hands in offering our Introduction
to Adventure Day Program sharing teachers, ideas and campuses.
We have created several programs which go a step further
for those who have experience, either with us or elsewhere
in climbing; Introduction to Rock Climbing II and for
those wild boys; Wild Crafts for Boys II. Our forever
loved Wilderness Adventures for Girls will still be offered,
however, we have created a new program for girls, Wild
Girls, that is a little longer in length and a next step
for those who have been attending Wilderness Adventures
for years or for all girls who are looking for a longer
experience and a little more adventure activities. Instead
of traveling north as we have done for so many years,
the Climbers have decided to travel south to amazing cliffs
in Mexico. And our latest building program, one which
will teach the life long ancient art of timber framing,
will also have a permanent lasting affect at Kroka as
students help to build a section of Kroka’s new
carriage shed/barn. And, of course, we continue to offer
our favorite tried and true programs. Our complete schedule
is below and our full brochure with registration can be
found on our web site. Things are filling as you read
this so don’t wait too long. Summer will be here
before we know it. In the meantime, HAPPY SPRING!
