I'll be playing with the Bunce-Schippers family band "Lake Effect", for a fun show of songs and stories geared towards kids, by of a quality that grownups can enjoy.
The Wheatscouts program was started in the mid 1980s. Wheatscouts meet during the months from October – June, and are generally scheduled for the 2nd Saturday of each month from 10:00 AM ’til Noon in the Gladys Wernette building on the Wheatland Music site near Remus.
Wheatscouts promotes family tradition and fellowship and is offered free of charge. If you would like additional information regarding Wheatscouts you may call Kris or Bruce at 989-561-2308.
Wheatscouts is a family gathering where children and parents from areas as close as Remus and as far flung as Lansing, Grand Rapids, and Kalamazoo come together once a month to sing, play music, dance, make crafts, listen to stories, enjoy each other and nature. There are no fees for Wheatscouts…you need not make a long-term commitment…and so far there is no Wheatscout pledge. The programs are entirely set up to get a family out of the house, away from the mundane Saturday morning tasks and into a Traditional Arts experience. The program is as much for the parents as it is for the offspring. We parents become so tied up in things to do with our kids and rearing them is a full-time piece of work, to be sure. Another aspect of Wheatscouts is the interaction offered to parents during the programs…a chance for parents to bond with other grown-ups while turning the little ones loose for a couple of hours.
The Wheatscouts season begins with a fall campout at The Gladys Lodge and ends with a spring camp-out on Kid’s Hill. Each month the participants are regaled with string bands, folk tales, mystery guests, dancing, cookie decorating, a kid’s variety show, crafts and a nature day (searching for owl pellets, fawns, wildflowers and salamanders on the Bauman/Wernette Centennial Farm…a.k.a. Wheatland.) Wheatscouts ordinarily occurs the 2nd Saturday of the month from 10 a.m.-noon in the Gladys Wernette building at the Wheatland music site.
