A little shout-out
FYI, this is not where my kids will be going to camp. They’re going to attend these fantastic new summer programs — a week of cooking and a week of art — and a couple weeks of Mass Audubon camp, also known as Trial by Mosquitoes. But, if they weren’t attending those camps, they’d be going here.
Have you ever wondered where yarn comes from? Would you like to know which garden plants make dyes? Have you ever wished you could work on a farm? If you answered yes to any or all of these questions, then this camp is for you! We will take care of some wooly animals, while enjoying the views at Bramble Hill Farm. We will tend the NEW fiber and dye garden, where we’ll grow plants that can be used for spinning yarn and for dyes. We will also take some hikes and learn about local wild plants that are good for fiber and dyeing. Watching these plants be spun into yarn and cordage is as magical as Rumpelstiltskin spinning flax into gold!
If I were the right age, I’d maybe even attend myself. And not just because one of my dearest friends happens to be the director of this camp, and the driving force behind its awesomeness.
