Forest Frolics

 

Forest Frolics: Movement art camp that infuses nature exploration with dance expression.  

Director of Sustainability and Upper School Biology and Sustainability Science teacher, Ms. Sandra Marr has been at Collegiate for a decade. She has a Bachelor’s Degree in Biology from Carnegie Mellon University and a Master’s Degree in Environmental Science from the Insect Biology Department of University of California, Berkeley. Ms. Marr has led outdoor science education for preschool through university students for more than 20 years. Her favorite finds include any animal that typically and unfairly evokes an “ew” (like frogs, salamanders, snakes and praying mantis) and any native plant that attracts interesting insects and birds (like mountain mint and cutleaf coneflowers). She is as likely to get students loudly mimicking barred owls as she is to encourage centered forest mindfulness.
