Enter through the path on the right side of the house.
Please be on time so we can start and end on time.
Hello's are welcome at drop off or pick up :)
For pick up, please wait until the teens come out, or we give a signal that parents can come in, don't just walk into our circle (we might be having a moment!) Thank you!

What to Bring

• Wear comfy clothes and bring warm layers. We will be meeting mostly outdoors so dress for the possibility of heat, cold, bugs... Check the weather.
• Blanket (+pillow if you like) for laying down to make a comfy nest.
  
• Food to share. We will always take a shared snack break, however your teen might need their own food packed just for them. Thanks for helping them navigate food needs. Examples of shared snack: popcorn, apples, grapes, chips, cookies, tangerines, case of sparkling waters, etc). Bring anything you'll need to serve. Anyone who is not comfortable with this is welcome to do food their own way, zero judgment. Please remind us of food allergies.
  
• Journal & pen.
  

Health & Safety Guidelines

In order to host the most awesome, intimate, connected group possible, we are creating guidelines for what we feel is appropriate to keep our group fun and safe. We will update these requests as we feel is appropriate.

Our group will be held without masks, unless you have checked in with us about a specific reason to wear one. In some cases a teen or facilitator might wear a mask to be extra cautious, but our general intention is to hold a group without masks. Please wash hands regularly and bring hand sanitizer. Do what you can to stay healthy and enjoy the group safely.

Anyone who has been sick, has been in contact with someone who is sick or who has tested positive for COVID-19 should check in and possibly need to stay home. In all situations, please let us know so we can make a decision together.

Thank you!
