Theatre/Arts/Food Week 2019

 

Mukta Phatak will be returning for a 6th summer fun filled week of theater.  Local art enthusiasts will bring art into the mix and together we will be creating a delicious array of local food meals with produce from the garden and local farms to enjoy. During this week we will be harvesting greens and herbs from the garden and learning about growing some of our own food at home.  And don't forget the instruments for the music jams around the fire.  Bring songs to share.  We hope you can join us.

 

For those of you who weren't with us in past years, Theatre/Arts/Food (TAF) week is a time to explore different theatre forms; dabble in various art media; take part in fun outdoor activities & games, and help to plant, harvest, cook, and eat delicious food.  At night there a number of activities like, our very own Olympics, a Wild Goose Chase in the dark (!) with flashlights, and sing songs by the campfire.  Saturday afternoon is performance afternoon in the rustic barn theater.  Parents and friends come to see what you've been working on all week.

 

New this year we will add hands on classes on how to shrub (a delicious summer fruit flavored drink) and other delicious projects.  Homemade pizza or pasta night (always a favorite) will return with help from WGF farm volunteers and parents interested in helping. This year at the farm we will be sharing the importance of regenerative living practices into all that we do and learning simple steps we can all take by living and learning with us during this week. 

 

The TAF week will run Saturday, July 6th- Thursday, July 11th this summer and is for 15-20 year olds.  In order to give each youth individualized attention, we are only able to include 13 participants.  Please secure a spot by sending a deposit right away. First priority will be given to returning campers and those youth who have expressed an earlier interest. If you know of others who would like to come, please let us know and we will include them if space becomes available.

 

The cost for the overnight week is $475 (which includes vegetarian meals, snacks and supplies). Wild Goose Farm family members receive a $50 discount per child.

"Wild Goose week was one of the best weeks of my life!  I can't wait to do this every single year until I am eighty-eight million eight hundred eighty-eight thousand eight hundred eighty-eight years old!"

 

"The people were amazing.  So was the food! Thanks for a great week."

 

We hope you can join us.
