Older groups differ in that they offer an expanded approach to what we do. Kids will set their own goals and challenges for what they want to learn in additional to all the good free play. They will help run a morning meeting and have a chance to journal. They will plan activities, help with group issues, and have a continuing sense of independence, collaboration, and ownership.
