Materials Wish-List
For us, that means getting supplies ready for summer camps!
We are always on the look-out for a variety of materials to use for our programs. Loose parts, scrap building materials and recyclables are great for open-ended play.
With increased safety guidance in regards to covid-19, we are also busy preparing and gathering cleaning and personal protective equipment.
We've put together an on-going wishlist of specific things we are looking for.
Take a peek in your collections, garage and shopping carts. We would greatly appreciate any donations of supplies! If you have other materials you think we could use, feel free to contact us and we'll let you know!
