One of the exciting aspects of our co-op is the array of field trips we organize. These outings offer hands-on learning experiences that help students explore various subjects in real-world settings. From visits to local museums and nature reserves to historical sites and science centers, our field trips encourage curiosity, foster teamwork, and provide opportunities for social interaction. 

Market Day is a special event where our students unleash their creativity by crafting items to sell. This hands-on experience allows them to learn valuable lessons about entrepreneurship, including product creation, cost analysis, and profit margins. On this day, kids can either barter or sell their goods, giving them a taste of real-world commerce.

Nature journaling sharpens their observation skills and fosters a deep connection to the environment. As they sketch, write, and reflect, they're learning to appreciate the beauty and complexity of nature. It's a joy to see their creativity flourish and their love for the outdoors grow!

As the seasons change, so do our celebrations! This year, our homeschool group has embraced the joy of seasonal festivities. Our autumn adventures include nature scavenger hunts, leaf turkeys, and gathering around the fire for s'mores. Watching the leaves change color is a perfect backdrop for reflection and creativity.
