The Blended Life at the ENC!

Orange County-based Raw Food Chef Alysha Maiorelli taught another inspiring raw foods class at the ENC last night!

Alysha taught participants the art of blending organic fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds to create delicious and simple soups and smoothies!

Alysha prepared a Cookies N' Cream Smoothie, Strawberry Milkshake, Green Smoothie Magic, Chocolate Almond Fudge D-Lish Milkshake, Cucumber Dill-licious Soup, Heirloom Tomato Basil Soup w/ Garlic Aioli, Creamy Corn Chowder w/ Fixins' and Luscious Avocado Herb Soup.

Participants tasted samples of all soups and smoothies prepared during the class.

Participants sampled a variety of Coconut Bliss Ice Cream (organic, diary-free, soy-free, gluten-free, and refined sugar-free). By the end of the class we were all very full!

Spring Break Camp at the ENC!

Painting the habitats for our imaginary creatures.



Catching (and releasing) crayfish!







Playing indoor games in our library.



Puzzle time!




Students used armatures to create the "head" of their choice.




Even the lizards came out to check out the action!



More fun with crayfish.















The Nature Games kids take a break from running about the Center! There are fewer pictures of them simply because they never stayed still!


Day one of Camp found our Nature Games Campers sitting out the rain over a game of chess. They are very good!
