Summer Plans with the Dragons

The osprey are back in Maine, along with the spring warblers. As the seasons move into the growing season, the summer is just around the corner. Dragon's Eye Adventures still has openings in Sessions III and VI, so if your young detective mage would like to join us, there is still time!

Session III features the mystery called "The Bottle Tree." This story draws upon southern traditions and beliefs of the Gullah and Geechee people of the lowlands and islands oof Georgia and the Carolinas. Blue bottles are hung upside down on small trees, as a kind of fly trap for evil spirits, keeping homes safe. Our story examines what happens when a collector's collection of spirits threatens to break loose.

Session IV involves the adventure called "The Crossroads of Knowledge." It draws on my love of libraries. My journey has led me from library to library in West Virginia, Pennsylvania, New York, Connecticut, Boston, and Maine -- creating a kind of map of books. We will be making book nooks as part of our story -- these are magical nooks that lead to tiny rooms or back alleys or mossy grottoes ... or the legendary library in Alexandria, Egypt.

More about these two mysteries may be found by clicking their titles.

The Rat Queen Begins Next Tuesday, Apr. 19 at Freeport Middle School

The Rat Queen and the Secret Keeper

Dragon's Eye is hosting a new adventure for April vacation. The program runs from 9 AM to 4 PM Tuesday through Friday next week at the Freeport Middle School. We will be in the library, so entrance will be through the main doors of the school.

All staff and participants have been vaccinated for Covid-19. We will be using social distancing this week, but masks are optional. 

Drop off will be in the hall outside the library -- so parents may enter the building with their child. Children over 12 may sign themselves in and out of the program, but children under that age need an adult to accompany them during drop-off and to sign out at the end of the day.

Please remember that any sick child should stay home! Please monitor your child's temperature and wellness each morning. Staff will ask about wellness each day.

Two snacks are provided each day. Children should bring a lunch and a water bottle. If a child has special food needs, then send two snacks marked clearly for morning and afternoon. No sodas or candies should be included with lunches. We do not have a peanut allergy this week, so children are welcome to bring nuts.

If you have questions, email me at dragonseyeadventures@gmail.com. Texting is the most efficient way to reach me during program hours. I do check email at lunch and the end of the day, but texting 207-350-5926 is a faster way to reach me.
