Holiday Fun with Winter Camp

The In-House Winter Camp is a holiday program that welcomes all children between 3 and 5 years-old, even those who are not enrolled at Beacon. With two seasons, playful moments were present during the tours, shows and many workshops.

The Field Trips to “Cia dos Bichos” and “Fazendinha – Estação Natureza”, children got to know the farm animals – they could even feed them and milk the cow. The theater play “Acorda” and the Interactive Storytelling of the group “Cia dos Trapos” provoked laughters and stimulated the children’s participation. Among the workshops performed by Beacon professionals, the Cooking workshop sharpened the students’ senses and interest in a special way. They really got their hands dirty, made cookies and delighted themselves at the tasting session! Other workshops such as Sports & Games, Sensorial Art Experience, Capoeira and Dancing Songs filled these days with recreation and games.

In partnership with Beacon, the Adventure Winter Camp invited Elementary and Middle School students for an expedition in Juquitiba. Aiming at disseminating the culture and practice of outdoor sports, contributing to strengthen bonds of this generation with nature, the Camp offered activities focused on health and well-being that stimulate the exploring senses, benefit social bonds and promote respect for the environment. This program also offered learning of adventure modalities, as well as their values. The hot dog track, among so many other activities, was amazing! After the hike, the children were rewarded with hot dog skewers and heated marshmallows by the embers of a campfire. The expedition day was also full of adventures and challenges. The students rode their bikes, practiced sports on the river and, at the end, they received a medal as symbol of their conquest.
