The Chronicles of Oaks Bottom: Through the Wardrobe
More winter break camps >
Through the Wardrobe
You know where we're going! Time is different there. We start through the wardrobe closet and find animals who to take us on a journey, telling us about what we need to know for the adventure and trials ahead. We talk with them through their tracks, following beaver, deer, red fox and more. Older kids train with foam swords and bows and arrows. All children learn about story and finding their way through the Land of Oaks Bottom.
We get a visit from Kris Kringle and we give him simple toys we make to donate to kids in need. Plus we drink natural cocoa & eat wholesome cookies!
A visit to the Zoo For ages 6-10 the first day is a visit to the Oregon Zoo to see the lions in their new exhibit Predators of the Serengeti
