Adventure Walkers

Every year, we noticed girls choosing to be brave, dangerous, reflective, active, explorers, kind, good teammates, empathetic, curious, good citizens, bridge builders and bridge builders, happy and sad, funny and serious and everything else. And all we did was let them play. Timeless. Boundless. No Experts.

“I recognized them by their sticks.😀”, said a parent as she drove by what remained of our Adventure Walkers after a hugely satisfying forty hour week of adventures. H/t local RVA band The Melody Chamber | Band | Music for the tune and Crossroads Coffee & Ice Cream for having delicious ice cream!

Hiding is the “feel good” way to put the “getting lost” risky trait in play. Perhaps the trait should be “lost and found” 😉. We play an amped up game of hide and seek called “the great big game of clues and trickery”. Big space, lots of time to lay out a trail of trickery for the seekers. But those hiders. They can’t help themselves. They seem to want to be found? Or their focused looks seem to invite it. It’s like ok, I’m hidden, now I want to see the excitement of the find. Or maybe the looking is the risk they seek. Either way, the hiding team rarely wins!

Like funk and dance, electron drop and valance are elemental. Like play to a cat or a dog or children.

See story for more on “Cary, the crawfish who cares”. Kids created the motto. Kids found Cary. Kids made a space for it. Kids dug in dirt to find worms and grubs. These are the kids adventures. “They get some bumps and bruises along the way. We take a few photos.” That is in our waivers. Like one kid said today, “I love this camp. I mean, you get supervision, but the kids run camp.” Thanks youngster, we try.
