Why
Seeds?
Because we are a seed.
Each one of us is a living being striving for growth. Reading is a fundamental part of that growth—it gives us knowledge, and knowledge is a light that brightens our path, especially when it’s dark. And because caring is one of our ways to communicate, to express love and devotion. Seeds cares.

Meet Saeed Bayounes
Bennie grew up spending summers on the road with her artist parents—painting by the lake, playing music barefoot, and putting on backyard plays by the bonfire. Those early experiences of freedom, creativity, and joy became the heartbeat of the camp she would go on to create.
Today, that vision lives on each summer, when a close-knit crew of working artists and educators gather in the woods to inspire and mentor a new generation. Together, they guide kids through hands-on discovery, bold ideas, and the kind of creativity that only happens when you’re outside, unplugged, and surrounded by people who believe in your spark.
