Homeschool Group - Coming Back January 22, 2024
Registration is now open for the winter session of the weekly Homeschool group. We meet weekly in the Hospitality Hall on Mondays from 11 - 2 pm. If you homeschool or know any Homeschooling Families we would love to have you join us.
To provide families with flexibility, you are asked to sign up for the dates you are planning to attend. The cost per family is $14 per date that you sign up for plus a $20 insurance fee. You can save $10 by signing up for all the sessions. Most of our families come to our group for socializing so we do encourage families to commit to as many dates as they can so that kids have time to build friendships. There is a registration form on our webpage.
Winter session will run January 22 - May 13, 2024 (no gathering February 19 or April 1). Again the start date might be different if you sign up to join us later in the year. The registration form will close on Saturday, January 20th at 10 am. At that point you will have to use our drop in / late registration form (more information below).
Each week we will follow this general schedule:
11 am - gather in Hospitality Hall
11:15 am - do a movement activity (lead by a parent)
12 pm - Lunch (bring your own)
12:30 pm - Show and Tell
1 pm - Activity/Craft/Experiment (lead by a parent).
Parents are expected to sign up to lead a movement exercise and prepare an activity. These can be very simple. Some examples of movement activities could include learn a line dance, play freeze tag, parachute games or lead everyone in boot camp style exercises. Here are some ideas for activities/crafts/experiments: pick a seasonal craft, learn about magnets, bring in some board games or do a painting. Play to your strengths and involve your children in the planning and instruction. Once you register you will be directed to where you can sign up for your weeks.
Please note that the cost of the registration doesn’t include supplies. The week(s) you are leading the activity you will need to bring or borrow all the supplies related to it. Alternatively you can ask families to bring things (they must be free and/or items they have at home). For example if you are having kids cut out of magazines you could ask for families to bring scissors and any magazines they have around the house.
If you are interested but not sure you want to commit to the full session, you are welcome to attend one drop in per session. The cost for a drop in is $20 per family and must be paid the week prior. Once you have come and realize how much you love it, you would be able to sign up for the rest of the session ($18 per week plus a $20 insurance/late fee). It is important for us to have some consistency in who is attending as we want to build a community. We do understand that you may not be able to attend every week however there would be no discounts for those missed weeks that you signed up for as the room costs the same whether you are in attendance or not.
Hopefully you will be able to join us, it is sure to be a lot of fun!
