The four years with White Ash Learning has helped my son learn to interact in (more) cooperative, creative and confident ways with children AND adults. So glad to see this collaborative, creative, confident, enthusiastic being emerging
My 10 yr old LOVES these camps. Only organized program that he has ever unequivocally LOVED and thrived in like this.
My sons have been enjoying the program immensely. I hope you continue to offer it!
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.
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!
I really can’t even measure how meaningful Clover’s experience has been with White Ash Learning! It’s super awesome. Keep being your wonderful selves. Clover is so happy.
The project based learning activities are amazing there is no traditional school that will teach him how to tan a deer hide or build a fire with just a flint and steel. He is not restricted to sitting at a desk and is allowed to explore his environment with guidance from his mentors.
Our grandson was able to make some really good friends and learn how to be social without having us around to cue him as to what to do.
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.
