We are proud to present our summer camp schedule for 2018. This year we have dates for all the students around Chiang Mai, whether you are on the international or Thai schedule there’s a week just for you!
Ages 3-10 are welcome to join these thematic inquiries into English language with a focus on creativity and hands on learning!
For a sample of our daily schedule and more information, check out our Summer Program tab.
Chiang Mai is a melting pot for creativity that has earned itself the reputation of the cultural and arts center of Thailand. So, it seems fitting that Chiang Mai now also boasts a 3 day music and arts festival in the green mountainous jungle of Samoeng (about 45 min from the Old City). Along with international music acts and art installations there was also a stacked lineup of wellness workshops hosted by some of Chiang Mai’s prominent healing artists. There were acro yoga workshops, dance mandala, reiki, healing sound bowls, hip hop wellness and of course a little dash of kid’s yoga.
We loved leading our yoga classes under a fabulous bamboo circus big top and sharing partner poses, meditation and laughter.
Thanks for having us Jai Thep, we can’t wait to be a part of your next grand celebration of imaginative living.

THANK YOU to all our beautiful families and facilitators for joining our children’s day celebration in the garden last month. Our hearts and bellies are so full from all the delicious food and thoughtful conversations set amongst juggling and cat crafting!
“Children are the future of the nation, if the children are intelligent, the country will be prosperous.”
-Thai saying
If you live in Thailand, you probably already know that this is a wonderful place to be a kid. Ample sun for expanding energy and growth, abundant agriculture of tropical fruits and veggies, not to mention the world renowned nature of the “Land of Smiles.”
But even further, Thailand nurtures children and acknowledges their importance as the future of their country. In 1955 the country established National Children’s Day to celebrate the significant role of their children. From Northern Thailand to the Southern Peninsula, the second Saturday of the month is saved for activities that fill their youth with joy.
At Kids Yoga Garden, we are committed to expanding the physical, mental and emotional intelligence of children through awareness and sensory-based creative activities. We love serving the mind, body and souls of our community by creating a nurturing environment to grow.
This year we will join the festivities with a FREE Children’s Day BBQ Potluck in our garden this Saturday, January 13th from 11 am – 2 pm. We will be joined by some of our favorite teachers, facilitators and families to welcome you to our space and some super special activities.
Workshops will include:
+ Arts and Crafts
+ Yoga Games
+ Tepee construction
+ Chess and Robotics
+ Circus skills
All Day enjoy:
+ BBQ (w/ veggie and vegetarian options)
+ s’more roasting
+ face painting
+ community
Let’s use less cash and more creativity this holiday season! Expose your children to the magic of their own imagination as we gather to create gifts, cards and movements that carry the cheer of the season with a smaller ecological footprint.
This craft camp will include tutorials on how to make 100% natural soap, DIY gift wrap, recycled snow globes, ornaments, cider, cookies in a jar and much more!
As always there will also be plenty of movement by the way of yoga, dancing and even Thai boxing. We will exercise our inner performers with drama, music and storytelling activities incorporating different traditions from around the globe.
And we’ll round it all off with a celebration on the final day!
Ages 3 -12 welcome
Limit: 9 children per age group
Tuesdays and Thursdays at the garden we host a homeschool meet up group with some vibrant international kids with a lot of secret talents. During our Skill Share classes, students step into the role of facilitator and create a class for their peers. This involves writing a lesson plan, executing it, and receiving feedback on their leadership. Throughout the process, children are encouraged to develop empathy and understanding for their peers, whether they are the ones teaching or being taught. It’s a pure and simple example of creative growth that we love holding space for.
This month we were treated to tutorials in bow and arrow making, Chinese fortune teller oragami, dance, facial sketching, balloon car making, and Pokemon molding.
Our homeschool group is on a brief hiatus for summer camp but open again in August 2017. Space is limited to 8 participants, registration open now.
Our creative learning camp is back with 4 more weeks of fun this July! There are just a couple of spots left for kids ages 3-10, so send us a message to reserve your space.
We had some excellent helpers in our garden last week getting messy with sand and exploring all areas of beach life. We hope you enjoyed our sand cake, ocean in a bottle, sandpaper art, and our very favorite “Puffer fish pose.”
