Purposeful play, not a sport training
This course offers an enriched, stimulating environment and a wide range of activities in which girls feel safe to explore, experience, and express themselves. By inviting girls to participate in various purposeful activities in a safe, fun, outdoor environment, we help ensure their exposure to enjoyable experiences and implicit learning. The love of movement is taught and encouraged in the same way we teach and encourage our children to love to read. With a few exceptions, most sports do not require specialization until kids reach the age of eight.
