Whatcom County’s first parent-child summer camp!

🌳 For parents and their little ones ages 18mo-4years (roughly!) to attend together.

⛺️ Each day includes songs, stories, activities, child-led play and an opportunity for parents to connect about parenting topics while kids are supervised. A great way to practice transitions and separation - optional, never forced.

⛅️ Each week will have a light theme, guided discussion, and opportunities for reflection and closeness in this special chapter of life.

🌺 Limited daily drop in options available, inquire directly.

📣 Need a weekend option? Check out our 2 day weekend sessions!

Price: $300 for 3 day camps, $250 for 2 day camps. Sibling discounts - only $150 per additional kid!

Becoming a parent again is its own initiation.
New rhythms. New needs. New questions. And a whole lot of love stretched wider. 💛

Becoming a Parent Again Circle is a weekly space to slow down, connect, and talk honestly about what it’s like to grow your family while already parenting a little one (or more).

Held by Julia Zefting—owner of Whatcom Family Village and mama of three—this circle offers support around things like:
✨ navigating sibling transitions
✨ juggling multiple needs
✨ shifts in identity and partnership
✨ making space for you in the midst of it all

🗓 Starts February 3
📍 Tuesdays | 3:00–4:30 PM
🤍 Come as you are. Babies welcome.

You don’t have to do this chapter alone.

Meet Andrea Lacey, M.A., CCC-SLP ✨

Andrea is a mom and pediatric speech-language therapist who believes the most powerful learning happens through play. With over six years of experience supporting children from babies to teens, she brings energy, creativity, and so much heart into every session.

In Purposeful Play, Andrea guides parents of babies ages 6–18 months through simple, meaningful play—sharing how communication, language, and connection grow long before words. Each week for six weeks, she meets families right where they are and offers practical tools you can carry into everyday life at home.

This series isn’t about doing it “perfectly.” It’s about building confidence, understanding your child’s development, and learning how to support communication in ways that actually feel doable.

Purposeful Play
Fridays | 10:00–11:30 AM
6-week series
Begins Friday 1/30

Come play, learn, and grow together
