If you’re choosing this addition, please send your child’s lunch for a picnic outside in our beautiful garden, weather permitting! We have a refrigerator if needed. During this additional hour, our campers will have an opportunity to listen to an audible book and/or have time for Choice Play in the designated stations of the Rabbit Hole once they’re finished with their lunch.
