REEVIS MOUNTAIN SCHOOL FIELD TRIP

Six families traveled to Roosevelt, Arizona, to visit the Reevis Mountain School. We enjoyed fresh fruits and nuts right off the trees in an orchard of some 70 fruit and nut trees, petted turkeys, helped collect eggs, and learned about organic gardening and solar power in this sanctuary from the hectic pace of the modern world. We gathered herbs and sampled cattails. Our families shared a delicious dinner of farm grown greens, freshly baked bread, and other delicacies, along with herbal teas made from the herbs grown there. After dinner we made arts and crafts with Indian Clay gathered from nearby. The trip was a wonderful opportunity for children and parents alike “to reconnect with nature, earth and spirit.”
