Peak Summer
As the last week of Crest Summer Camps draw to a close, garlic and flowers are hung to dry, and the hay loft is filled for the year ahead, we find ourselves looking forward to fall.
Seasonal chores and celebrations provide continuity: the work and play we return to year after year reminds us where we’ve been and what we have to look forward to.
In this peak summer moment, we invite you to explore the land, grab some goat milk, hike the trails, and enjoy the summer sun. See you soon!
