White Ash provides an environment where my children can express themselves in a healthy and safe way.
Our child has had so many experiences that could not be gotten anywhere else from learning the tanning process for animal hides to starting a fire with just a flint and steel and of course making tea from autumn berries, and so many more!
There is always something they come back talking about whether it’s something the built in the woods, a whittled stick or learning how to make beeswax torches.
The Friday program has been great for our older children, giving them a greater sense of confidence and independence, and allowing them to experience things that they wouldn’t otherwise.
White Ash Learning has enabled my child to be in a social learning environment while not being confined to a classroom and allows her to focus on the things she loves.
Winter camp really helped us break out of a rut and open our eyes again to possibility.
My 10 yr old LOVES these camps. Only organized program that he has ever unequivocally LOVED and thrived in like this.
It’s amazing and is helping my child blossom, hands down.
We love the Deer Isle summer camp, the kids love camping out and attending the program during the day. This past summer they really enjoyed bringing a pot and a bunch of ramen and cooking lunch over the fire for everyone in the program!
