This summer camp acts like our usual Butterfly Forest School Parents Coop setting, and allow families who are outside of our school have a taste of what forest school looks like. Parents will take turns to be the "Stay-Day Parents", aka "Mama Teacher". This Stay-Day participation role is an assisting position to the mentor. It is a chance for parents to witness the bold and exciting learning journey of their own children, and the rest of the class as well. In Day 5, all parents will participate to have fun in the Half Moon Bay beach.

This summer camp acts like our usual Butterfly Parents Escorted Outing group setting, and allow families who have joined us before to have a taste of what our outings look like. 

This camp offers parents to an opportunity to spend with their little ones a peaceful and joyful time in nature. Parents will get opportunities to talk through their parenting confusions, learn some parenting ground rules and other skills. The nature preserve will also act like our classroom in which we learn from nature, including nature awareness, safety rules, identify potential hazards and poisonous plants, or simply breathe fresh air, get some sunshine, observe nature, find our purpose and place etc.

This camp acts like our Saturday Solo Butterfly Program. This camp offers children a chance to learn Mandarin through structured circle story time and through unstructured free play time. The camps will focus on children's social well being with peers while offering them the opportunity to learn local flora and fauna. We will meet, hike, chat, play, draw/write etc. We spent each day immersed in the natural world exploring creeks, ponds, meadows, forests and the beach.  Camps are personalized to the interests and skill level of each camper, and divided into different themes each week.
