Giggle Your Way to Summer: Farm Fun Starts Now at The Giggling Life!

April 20, 2024

The Giggling Life Care Farm in Thornton is bustling with activities NOW into this SUMMER!

πŸ’₯ Tuesday Afterschool Program

Running through the end of May, The Giggling Life Care Farm is excited to offer an ADDITIONAL after-school program that will take place on Tuesdays from 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm! 

The after-school programs are so much fun to participate in and fill up fast. 

Spring is a great time to join in at the farm, too as it's the beginning of many amazing new things on the farm! Kids will get to welcome spring babies to the farm (baby goats!) and will participate in planning the garden! 

As always, the farm focuses their days on mindfulness and gratitude and will continue their lessons of gratitude, believing in yourself, and how powerful your mind is!
