It’s a new kind of play program. Intentionally designed to foster independence\, social development\, problem solving.  \nCome let’s discuss how to implement our own Let Grow Play Club–times\, locations\, volunteers\, and the pledge of independence (for Parents and Kids). \nThe Club is the brainchild of Let Grow co-founder Dr. Peter Gray\, the eminent psychologist who has spent his life studying the crucial role of unstructured\, mixed-age “free play” in developing children’s creativity\, confidence\, and ability to thrive. \n\nBy organizing their own games and learning to solve the inevitable spats\, kids learn real-world social skills. You can’t solve problems if there’s always an adult right there at recess or in a play group\, solving them first!\nMixed-age play benefits all kids. Older students develop responsibility\, leadership and empathy. Younger kids learn executive function by trying to be like the big kids.\nKids who are allowed to take small risks and figure things out themselves at home will have more grit and determination at school.\n\nContact Kim with any questions: colacityinfo@gmail.com\nSign up here to get the zoom link for the planning meeting. \n\n\n \n Parent Name\n \n \n First\n \n \n \n \n Last\n \n \n \n EmailLook for an automated confirmation when you submit and follow up info with the zoom link. \n \n Mobile PhoneInclude a number just in case we need to text you the meeting reminder and details.

This is a “self-guided” activity–with a back pack of supplies provided by the rangers. \nActivity packs are limited\, so we’ll have to share amongst our group. The activities for the age groups go on different trails.

Please bring cash/exact change to put in the dropbox. \nBring: $5/exact change for parking\, sunscreen\, bug repellant\, comfortable shoes for walking\, water.\nOptional: magnifying glass and/or binoculars. \nLook for Kim to greet you.

Here are a few ideas to get you started: \n\n\nDress like Abe Lincoln (and maybe even recite the Gettysburg Address) \nShow your salt dough map of South Carolina \nRead your report on nomads\n Build a model of a pyramid and show what’s inside \nSing a song from another country\n\nProjects can be something you already completed previously. We recommend projects that are hands-on\, interactive demonstrations or have samples\, hand-outs\, give-aways. \nTables are provided\, but you can bring your own table for your display. Set up from (10 am-10:20 am). Presentation shifts will begin at 10:30 am. Note: masks are recommended. \nAll Participants will get certificate and prize. Please pre-register so we can prepare certificates and space. \nPresentation format: The presenters get to tell about their project several times\, not just a one-time show-n-tell as participants meander and mingle. It’s also very relaxed style of presenting one-on-one\, rather than the formal “speech”. (Note: these pictures were pre-pandemic).\n \nMore Examples: You can pull together a really cool display by next week…from something you’re previously studied or currently are studying. Siblings can present together…or prepare individual presentations of their own. Either way is fine.
