Free book for Huawni Parents
Our desire is to see all camper and staff leave our gates knowing their true significance and purpose. How do we do that?
One way is by campers experiencing Huawni’s core values, one of which is — we believe that we were made to play outdoors.
It is with excitement to announce Last Child In The Woods, the book we will be giving out to our enrolled Huawni Parents for our summer reading book club. Richard Louv gives some staggering research related to the importance of children experiencing nature.
