**A note on gender identity and age ranges
At Gaia Passages, we offer age ranges for many of our programs (e.g: Wildflowers Ages 7-8, Herbal Medicine Camp for Ages 9-11 etc..). These ranges are meant as a guideline and general description of who these programs are tailored for. Gaia Passages also recognizes the fluidity in the development of young people. Unless otherwise noted, our programs are currently open to girl identified youth (trans and cis) and gender-expansive youth. As stated in our mission, we center youth – their experiences, and needs. We are committed to opening the conversation with caregivers and youth to make an exception to these guidelines with care to what is needed.
