LEAFlet kids Village MAY 2010 Schedule... We've now got ROOM to BLOOM!!!
Kids & Families
"In a metamorphosis worthy of Kafka himself, the last Lake Eden Arts Festival turned my kids’ oft-tossed toddler tantrums into tempers of sweet tranquility"
- parent quote from Mountain Express
LEAF is a family scene and a blast for kids of all ages! Create memories in a perfect setting as you engage in a multitude of activities. Just a few of the things to keep everyone happy: swimming, the zipline, climbing wall, tennis, hiking, exploring the woods & streams, dancing, music, storytelling, puppet shows, poetry slams, kayaking, canoeing, face painting, yoga, arts & crafts, yummy food, the LEAF parade, fire shows and just hanging out together. It doesn't get any better than this!
"LEAF is the perfect opportunity to send the whole family to camp… For three days, mom, dad and kids have the unique opportunity to be in a setting that is designed for children and families to have a safe, fun, and life expanding experience."
- Rapid River
"I am 13 years old and have been coming to LEAF for 4 years. I fell in love
with it the first time I came. I know so many people there, now, and it is a
special time for me to visit with friends. I have been inspired many times at
LEAF and every time I go, it becomes more magical. Thank you for such a wonderful
place!"
-from the LEAF forum
"My experience at spring LEAF was very positive, healing and rejuvenating...I'd heard for many years about LEAF and finally made it. LEAF provided the most well rounded variety of arts and was the most family friendly of all festivals that I attended.”
- Berkeley

Kids Village
"WOW!....there is so much to do" is frequently heard at the LEAFlet kids Village. It is our goal to bring fun & magic to all LEAFers.
We take the words "Family Friendly Festival" seriously. Enjoy:
& Bedtime Stories
As the sun sets over LEAF, something special happens in front of the fireplace inside Thunderbird Lodge. Friday & Saturday evenings, the vaudeville-style storytelling of Sarah Eshan creates a magical setting. Her stories, characters, and songs take audiences places that span the globe and connect them to ancestral and cultural roots with laughter and the occasional lesson for life. Come experience the storytelling spirits with her!
Elfhaven Childcare
Elfhaven Childcare in Arrowhead Lodge is a sweet creative play space for kids and little ones. Kate Hyde & her crew, who have been involved with festival childcare for quite awhile, create a magical kids world with arts, crafts, games, puppets, books and blocks. Truly a very special festive child care. Kids come have fun and parents go play!
Friday 7pm-1am • Saturday 12pm-2am • Sunday 12am-4pm in Arrowhead Family Lodge.Sign up at Arrowhead Lodge. $5 per hour- a great deal. Sibling discounts. Sign up early for limited spaces.
