Summer Feast Held At Housatonic Valley Waldorf School
Parents and family members of Housatonic Valley Waldorf School summer camp students were invited to the school’s campus on Friday, August 14, to celebrate the summer’s efforts with a harvest feast.
Camp Director Carrie Reilly welcomed everyone in attendance and led the students in singing a “snack blessing” song before visitors lined up to eat the feast’s offerings.
Harvest feast offerings made by the students, according to Ms Reilly, included chocolate sauce served with crepes, herbed bread, zucchini and apple bread, “stone soup,” salad, fruit smoothies, kale chips, and humus.
The school’s summer camp programs ran weekly this summer, during July and August. According to Ms Reilly, an older group of students visited Rocky Glen State Park to practice for Primitive Skills camp weeks. Ms Reilly also said she was grateful to Paul Kabusk, who allowed the younger campers to visit his neighboring property to study frogs.
According to the school, more than 100 campers participated in this year’s summer offerings.
All campers and their family members from throughout the summer were invited to the harvest feast.
Placemats, candles, candleholders, and more created by campers decorated tables set up under a tent for the day’s feast.
