Schurig Center is pleased to share “Animal Tales” a collection of animal mixed media artworks and writing created by artists in our Art Studio. Artists spent art sessions creating the images and writings for this book. The artists reflected on the importance of animals in their lives, and how they provide friendship, inspiration, healing, and unconditional love. During the process of creating the images, stories, and reflections, the artists shared thought provoking experiences of the healing impact that animals have in their lives. Enjoy!

Participants started the day by following the trail of “bear paw prints” leading them to our “Base Camp” where the magic began!
Everyone (including staff) had to choose a unique “camp name” for the day. Campers enjoyed lunch on the patio followed by an action-packed day filled with awesome back-country games and activities, such as making tie-dye t-shirts, “fishing for prizes,” a wet and wild water balloon toss, and a “campfire” sing-a-long and stories by flashlight! And, of course, campers feasted on everyone’s favorite campsite treat…s’mores!
Planned at the suggestion of our Therapeutic Program participants, our Summer Camp Day was a wonderful way for us to socialize as a group and enjoy the fresh air and great outdoors here in beautiful Larkspur!
Through the experience of “Camp Schurig,” participants were able to reap the benefits of camping by refreshing and renewing their bodies, minds and spirits outdoors. The day also provided the opportunity for participants to practice interpersonal communication, active listening and social skills while promoting creativity and self-expression.
A great day was had by all!
