July! Here come the kids for Summer @AMP.
I am so psyched. I just love hanging out with Chip, Justin, and all the ODB kids up in our outdoor space. Every year they work on amazing projects—serious building. Since we have jumped from reticent spring to full-blown heat waves this past week, I'm thinking of all the cold drinks I can bring up the hill to our crew, then visiting the program room to suggest artwork projects depicting popsicles and ice cream. Whatever the heat index, these kids get together fixated on the projects at hand, almost unaware of the weather.
Their generosity of spirit and enthusiasm are contagious. It’s no wonder I make excuses for coming over to work on site.
And there are just a few spots left in our summer program schedule. Check the various programs and sign up online. Looks like every session will be full in the days ahead.
