Ages 6+
Science comes alive in our homeschool science & wilderness program. Experienced mentors provide relevant field studies and hands-on experiences using curriculum developed by licensed educators. Each week students will focus on a natural science topic and a wilderness topic such as knots & ropes, shelter, fire, woodcraft, orienteering, or nature journaling. Students meet each week with the same group of students allowing them to build meaningful relationships with peers.
