We have attended a workshop given by Rachel Roberts at Northfield Mountain. We found it to be a great experience. There were multiple hands on projects, I mean half a dozen, not two! There were activities from complicated to simple. Rachel read two books and the kids enjoyed that also.
Below, I have copied the text of Rachel's email outlining the next 4 events that she will be leading:
