Author Archives: Haverty Hollow

This year Frog Hollow added a new activity, Building Play.   This activity consists of three large boxes of different sized blocks being dumped into the middle of the floor.   Campers then build structures around the playroom, individually or together, with the common goal of creating a large city connected by roads and paths.

This activity helps campers learn about balance and develop motor skills.

There are 4 rules in Building Play:

1. No knocking anyone’s building down.  You will have to help rebuild it.
2. No throwing the blocks.  This includes anything that can launch the blocks into the air.
3. Everybody has to help clean up.
4. Have Fun!!

Some of our Tuesday Morning Play Group gather buttercups for their parents and siblings.

Each Spring Haverty Hollow blooms into full color across the campus.  One of our favorite things is to let the fields grow and to watch the buttercups cover the grounds for a few weeks as the weather turns warm.  On days like today, our friends can play in the sun and enjoy nature and its full color.
