House In The Wood

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!🎄

We’re wishing you all a loving and joyful holiday, and a Happy Hanukkah!

Thank you for your support on Giving Tuesday. With your generosity we are giving Rowe scholars access to academic enrichment programs, STEM/STEAM programming, interactive learning experiences, and so much more. Your support is helping to lead students on the path of success and we are grateful.

Happy Thanksgiving, House In The Wood Families! 🦃🍗🥕🥔

This Saturday, November 19th, we will once again be giving out Thanksgiving meals at the Settlement building (same building as pick-up/drop-off for general summer camp sessions, 1400 W Augusta Blvd)!!! Boxes will be given out on a first come, first serve basis, starting at noon until we run out! Each meal will include meat, canned vegetables, potatoes, and more! We hope you all are staying safe and warm! 🍁🍂🍁🍂

Thanks to Chris Harvey (staff 2001-2005) for jumping in to help with summer camp. He said he was visiting me before I retired but confidentially I think he came to get a dose of working with the campers. He credits House In The Wood with giving him the skills to excel in his current job--assistant principal at an inner city London school. He hopes to be founding principal at a new charter school opening soon.

Still more thanks to catch up on...Sunday FUNDAY in July. We had board members and their family members visit camp to do activities with the campers. Just letting you know--they wanted to know when you were coming back. Thank you so much for sharing your time and expertise with our kiddos.

It is NATIONAL DOG DAY. Meet Siegfried. Unfortunately he was not really ready for summer camp this year as he is still a puppy and had bad manners. Some campers got to meet him and we both always waved goodbye when the school bus left after a session.
