Summer is here! 🌱 Our Seedlings recently took a field trip to Wood Lake Nature Center and spent the day hiking, climbing, and exploring nature together.

What’s cuter than a few seedlings blossoming outdoors? We certainly can’t think of anything. ☀️

This week, Banyan’s 55+ group, Senior Social Club, welcomed a talented artist from Northern Clay Center for a hands-on clay workshop! 🎨✨

Participants spent the morning creating and painting their own bowls while sharing laughter, creativity, and community together. We are so grateful for opportunities like these that bring people together and create space for connection, learning, and joy. 💙

Family Night 2026 was a huge success! It felt so good to be back together laughing, creating, and sharing space as a community.

Families planted herbs, made movie night buckets, and enjoyed a meal together. Moments like these remind us just how special this community is. 💛

Welcome to the beautiful chaos of a staff with no chaperone.

Lucky for us (and our kids), this same fun, lighthearted energy shows up every day at Banyan. 💚
