Springville Homeschool 25/26

Course Details

About the Course Our homeschool courses encourage creativity and confidence in kids by facilitating the time and space for them to be just that, kids. They will learn to track animals, build fire with sticks, make arrowheads and much more. We encourage growth through introspection and sensory awareness. Learning to connect with your landscape and not only feel a part of it but one with it is a skill that students learn to master in our courses. Be prepared to get dirty and maybe even uncomfortable but only if you want to have a lot of fun. We will find sit spots, practice survival skills, wander and play games. *Please note: If we do not get the minimum number of participants for the corresponding teen class it may affect your registration. Canceled teens will have the option to join a preteen class and priority will be given to those who register first. In the event your student gets knocked from the registration we will offer a full refund or the opportunity to join another class with no additional fees.
