Class Experience
Our week-long summer adventures in Prospect Park combine the arts and sciences through immersive storytelling and imaginative missions that take kids on journeys to the most magical places in the park. Each week is a different adventure woven together with a narrative arc in which the kids are the protagonists! Gaia calls them to be leaders in the regeneration of the planet and the reconnection to humanity by completing fun games and activities that help them learn, take action, and build long-lasting relationships.
