INFORMATION FOR PARENTS & FAMILIES
Kids of all ages are welcome at RiverJam Romp!
We have a fun, cheery, dedicated staffer ~ Ellie Fuller ~ to help keep willing kids engaged and having fun during scheduled workshop sessions.
During all scheduled workshop times, there are three options for children:
1) They can enjoy a workshop accompanied by their parent or a parent-designated adult.
2) If they are happy and secure on their own, they can join Ellie and the other kids without their own adult and enjoy the group activities being offered.
3) You and your child can spend some quality adult-child time together outside of the workshops. There are grassy areas to run around in and hiking trails that you can explore together. If you need a quiet indoor space and do not have a dorm reservation, ask us—we may be able to help.
The children's staff will also be around to lend a hand with kids during the Farewell Gathering on Sunday afternoon.
At all other times, parents and children are expected to stick together and to follow all general site rules and safety expectations, regardless of age.
Our workshops and activities are open to any interested child accompanied by their own adult. (Some song workshops may include adult themes and language, so check with the workshop teacher in advance if this is a concern.) We do our best to offer plenty of activities that everyone can enjoy.
We welcome your questions! We are also parents, and we all have personal experience managing our own families' needs at events and camps. Contact us if you want to chat more about any of this!
Meet ELLIE FULLER!
Ellie grew up in the countryside of Southern England. She was immersed in music and song from a young age, and loved nothing more than to be outside, climbing trees and exploring the natural world.
Now as a Nature Education Facilitator, her passion is supporting children and young people to be in joyful, loving, and reciprocal relationship with the earth, remembering that they belong within the family of all beings.
She uses song and story to help children deepen their understand and connection with animals, plants and especially trees. Ellie currently lives in Guilford and loves connecting with her close and wider community through craft, foraging, food, gardening, and song!
