This summer, journey with Under the Canopy into the realm of Middle Earth and live like the Shire folk. Inspired by J.R.R. Tolkien’s classic tale, The Life of the Hobbit virtual summer camp will be a chance to play and learn while re-creating the Shire life. Children will make delicious Shire food, including elvensies, with cooking demonstrations. We will have special story times with guest readers dressed as characters from The Hobbit! We will also explore the nature around us like Bilbo Baggins and set off on a daily journey discovering nature’s marvels and solve riddles as we learn the mysteries of our own backyard habitats. We will craft our own miniature Hobbit doorways to invite the little people to our backyards. Camp will conclude with a grand zoom tea party celebrating The Hobbit!
