Join in for some nature-based FREE PLAY! This simple but powerful childhood activity looks like "just plain fun" but is much more. After a busy school day, let your child wind down in nature! Kids make their own fun without adult intervention (unless needed) and gain the important skills of focus, compromise, leadership, and empathy. At Let Grow Play Club, your child will get the resilience-building outdoor play time they need with a multi-age group. For grades K-3. PARENT VOLUNTEERS NEEDED. Please email Emily Hilbelink at emily.hilbelink@delanoschools.org 5 Mondays: September 14-October 12 2:50-3:50pm | $25 Location: Fields and woods near Delano Elementary School (weather pending) Child pick up at Delano Elementary School Participation requirements: Students must agree and be able to abide by THREE Play Club Rules in order to participate: 1) I will not deliberately hit or physically hurt another child. 2) I will not leave the designated Play Club area without adult permission. 3) I agree to listen to the adults (who will only get involved when they need to, but then it's my job to listen). Students must be able to follow these three rules in order to participate in Play Club. Parents: The goal of Play Club is to provide children with the opportunity to create, socialize, explore, and solve problems without adult involvement. Parents understand that though most children experience only joy at Play Club, not all kids will be happy 100% of the time (as they work through challenges together). Parents understand that adults will not intervene on children's disagreements unless absolutely necessary. If a child deliberately hurts someone, they will need to take a break. Parents understand that this is a chance for children to become more resilient, resourcement, mature, and creative.
