Dream Big Series for Girls
(for girls ages 8 to 12)
This monthly series is focused on empowering your girl to go for what she wants. Focus areas include how to listen to herself, address fears, and take steps...no matter how small!
Each class includes a lesson, snack, craft and brief walk on the arboretum grounds, weather permitting.
If your girl has big plans or needs a gentle nudge to be herself, this series is for her. Click on each title for more information and to register.
While your girl can benefit from taking the series, each class stands alone and offers its own unique benefit. Attending the other classes is not necessary.
