What we did in 2021
In 2021 we were able to offer more Robinwood Center events including our first-ever storytelling event and a racial and climate justice film series. We also hosted events for other organizations dedicated to furthering the cause of social and climate justice in our community.
Storytelling Event: On Belonging in the Community
Three individuals from our community participated in a storytelling event by sharing their unique stories with us. Connecting with people of diverse backgrounds and hearing their stories brings people together, and we will be hosting more storytelling events in 2022.
Film Series: Racial and Climate Justice
We hosted a viewing of three different movies dedicated toward racial and climate justice. These events included showings of Selma, Indian Horse and Urban Roots.
Evergreen Yoga: Environmental Exploration Farm Camp
We had a second cohort of campers return to Saltonstall Farm for the 2021 Environmental Exploration Farm Camp! We were thrilled to host this event for the second year in a row.
SoulFire
A yoga studio based in Greenland utilized our barn for weekly, socially distanced yoga classes.

What we did in 2020
2020 didn’t quite go the way we had planned but we are grateful for the opportunities we had to foster new and continuing relationships and create space for local organizations to safely conduct their programming while hosting and co-hosting some of our own!
Evergreen Yoga: Environmental Exploration Farm Camp
The Environmental Exploration Farm Camp is a seasonal program that began in 2020. Evergreen Education and the Robinwood Center creatively combined their efforts and resources to host a safe and fun space for kids to learn through nature on the farm! The neighboring farms provide an ideal space for campers to immerse themselves in nature-based learning.
Many things make this thoughtfully curated program special, including a continuous theme of meditation, yoga, and mindful connection. From learning about the seasonal crops, to practicing nature-based yoga postures down by the pond, each day at camp is filled with opportunities to move, learn, and play. Evergreen Education Director Kat McDonnell collaborates with certified K-8 teachers, yoga instructors, and other professionals to offer a well-rounded and engaging curriculum.
With careful consideration of all safety protocols, this camp focuses on small cohorts, gathering groups of campers who are connected through friendship and common neighborhoods. The three cohorts hosted in 2020 included kids from Exeter and Rye, NH.
