Join us at Raw Learning for FREE on Wednesday, May 26th for a barbeque from 11:00-2:30. We’ll have water to play in and outside games galore! Please bring something to throw on the grill or a dish to pass and a chair to sit in outside.  Let Gleamer know if you will be able to attend.

1 Camping Spot Available
There is one 20’ X 20’ tent pad left at the Raw Learning Buddy Site for the Westmoreland camping trip. We will arrive on June 11th and leave on June 13th. You can come for one night or two. Each night costs $25. There is so much to do there including kayaking, canoeing, fishing, swimming, hiking PLUS Raw Learning activities such as campfire bread baking and team games. A stop at the Westmoreland Berry Farm to get some treats and see the goat walk will be lots of fun too.

Ceramics
ARC of Harrisonburg donated 15 boxes of a wide assortment of ceramics to Raw Learning that they no longer wanted to store. We also have acrylic paint. Would you or someone you know like to come and facilitate a ceramics painting class for the fall? Please contact Gleamer.
