For most of human history, everything that was necessary came from the land. In our Fall Homeschool series, kids learn traditional living skills like fire-making, foraging, animal tracking, tool making, and archery.
There are 5 different Fall Homeschool programs offered:
Mondays - Wild Foods
Tuesdays - Wild Crafting
Wednesdays - Wilderness Survival
Thursday - Archery
Friday - Fantasy Fridays
Each program runs from 1:30 - 3:30 PM, for ten weeks from September 21 - December 4 (except Thanksgiving). Programs are at Marsh Sanctuary, Mt. Kisco. There are two parallel groups with eight kids in each group, one for kids ages 4-7, another for kids ages 8-14.
