Monday, June 22, 2026 from 9:30-11:30 a.m. Explore and be inspired while forest bathing at the Lake Superior Zoo. Different from a nature hike, being fully in the present moment gently awakens awe and discovery. Technology is set aside to plug into the healing and calming power of nature. During the 2 hour session a series of guided invitations are intermixed with walking slowly, sitting in silence, mindfully observing nature, and sharing what is witnessed. There is a mix of solo and group time. The session concludes with tea and light snacks. Return home to your place of belonging as part of what is wonderfully wild. $40 per person, or $70 for one youth and accompanying adult. Pre-registration with payment required.

As children learn and create together, they will find a place of belonging, make new friends, and follow Jesus’s example of making room for all and loving one another. Each day starts with gathering, singing and looking for connections to our communities, families, friends and the divine. Throughout the week we will engage in service projects for our community, such as gathering food for a local food shelf. Then children rotate between 3 different stations: Story Connections (reading the daily Bible story and a Children’s Book related to that day’s theme); Kinetic Connections (playing fun and cooperative games outside – a chance to move and process feelings and learnings); Creative Connections (wondering and exploration of the daily…
