Bag Lady Activities

I guess you could call me the Bag Lady of Roane County, WV, with all the tricks I have in my bag for educational activities and retreats.  I was a certified teacher in Ohio, Washington, and West Virginia, and I hold a Master’s degree in Pastoral Studies from Seattle University.  Over a decade of combined experiences in the classroom, as a camp director and working with homeless men and women, have left me with a rich multitude of activities from which you can choose, and I’m eager to share them with you and your group on or off the farm.  Bag Lady activities help people see themselves and the world through a different lens.  They are fun, interactive and developmentally appropriate, tried and true for student, young adult, and adult audiences alike. Contact her if you’d be interested in working together to create a program that fits your needs. jeannie@acwfarm.com 304-927-5798

Group Building

Building community among your group is a worthwhile venture if you want to be able to accomplish much of anything together.  Group building activities focus on communication, problem solving, trust, teamwork and decision making.  They can nurture and hone your group’s leadership and cooperative skills before you start a project, or to work out issues you may come across in the midst of it.

These activities are challenging and fun, but the value of them lies in the debriefings, after each game or element.  That’s when participants make the connections with the “real-life” challenges they face together, and how to meet them successfully.
