Wonder of place week at the community school:
Join The Community School (TCS) for a week of creativity, exploration, and community in the Babson Creek Learning Forest! This immersive week features three distinct tracks, each running Monday through Friday from 9:00am to 3:00pm (July 20th - 24th only), designed to engage young artists, performers, and explorers in meaningful, place-based experiences. We invite families to register for the individual track that best fits their child’s interests and age group.
We will also be offering the beloved Wonder Walk on Wednesday, July 22nd (one date only this summer) which is designed for children ages 1-3 years old and their accompanying caregivers.
Scholarship & Reduced Tuition for Summer Programming: We are committed to making this meaningful, place-based experience accessible to all families. If the full cost of the weeklong session ($300) is a concern, we warmly invite you to complete the scholarship application below. We offer reduced tuition based on family need and aim to ensure that cost is not a barrier to participation.
