Island Rover weeks will be loosely structured around the specified theme. Theme weeks stand alone, but can also overlap (ex: art and knights and dragons). All planned activities will be subject to change, based on the weather, availability of resources and children’s interest. In addition to planned field trips, on and off island, there will be unstructured time daily for the beach, walks, quiet time and games.
