The Toronto Waldorf School is still looking for camp kids. They’re recruiting the little ones from ages 4 to 14, Depending on the age bracket, they will be entertained by educational outdoor experiences like visiting Camp Kettelby, and the Albion Hills Conversation area where they have bicycle trails and a huge lake to swim in. The younger ones can enjoy nature walks, imaginative play,songs and stories. The camp runs from June 20th till August 19th weekly.
I recently found out about Waldorf’s gardening program. It fits in perfect with their holistic approach to education. The kids, as young as third grade, rip. Dig. Plant. Investigate. Educate themselves. Go on adventures.
It seemed like a normal weekday morning for me during the wee hours of March 11th 2011. I got up because I couldn’t sleep. Tossed and turned until I decided to check my e-mail and read the news for a while I brewed some tea. An earthquake hit Japan.
Education from a Deeper Perspective was a good tagline, I thought, when I grew old enough to understand Waldorf’s marketing scheme. They were trying to convince possible new parents that we look deeper into things than the public school system. It wasn’t until a few years ago when I realized that Waldorf actually did.
If you knew me as a kid, you would never know I would be depressed later on in life. I was a happy sort. Still am, for the most part. Then, something happened. It first hit me when I was in my late teens. It goes and comes. Every few years, I have a huge setback. The best part of it, though is that with every setback I also step a few steps forward. With two steps back, I skip five forward. I realize something new about myself and I continue to fight it out. And that’s all you have to do – fight. Never give up. And trust me, I know how hard it is to do that.
