Collegeville Colors
Sunday, October 13th , 2013
We invite you to attend the 11th annual Collegeville Colors event on Sunday, October 13th from 1-5pm. This family event is open to the public to enjoy the beautiful fall colors and lakes on the campus of Saint John's near Saint John's Preparatory School (grades 6-12).
Two hiking trails will be available. The shorter trail, approximately 1.5 miles, will be filled with a variety of age-appropriate activities for kids, including:
- One-act plays
- Learning about fractal geometry and how this is exhibited in nature
- Bark and leaf rubbing
- Exploring and identifying various animal furs
- "The ever-changing canvas painting"
- Poetry reading
- Music
- And more!
In addition, families have the opportunity to enjoy a longer hiking trail to the recently restored Stella Maris Chapel. Guided educational tours, provided by our friends at the Saint John's Arboretum, will be available at 1:30, 2:30 and 3:30. This trail is approximately 3 miles roundtrip. The Saint John's Prep Chamber Choir will perform at the Chapel at 2pm.
Back at the fields below the Prep School, you can warm up to a bowl of "bouja," served with the famous Johnny Bread, sliced apples with caramel and a variety of refreshments.
While you are enjoying the bouja and other treats, we invite you to relax and enjoy the conversation with others. At the same time, there will be a variety of entertainment and activities nearby, including:
- Face painting
- Receive your name written in a variety of languages by members of The World Club at Saint John's Prep
- A variety of musical instruments played by Prep School students
- Learn about sustainability
- Poetry reading
- And more!
