Home School Options

Outdoor Education is a great opportunity for home school students as well as school groups. Because the structure of our regular Outdoor Education program does not always seem feasible for home school families, we are offering several options for you and your family. If you are part of a co-op, you can choose to participate in our one, two, or three-day outdoor education programs. You must have a minimum of ten students per age group to receive our regular price rates. Whether you belong to a co-op or not you can choose to come to a Home School Outdoor Education Day. 

Home School Outdoor Education Day

This spring Black Rock Retreat is hosting an Outdoor Education day specifically for home school families. Mark your calendars for April 9, 2009! From 9:00AM until 3:00PM, our Outdoor Education Instructors will lead your children in a discovery of God's creation. A devotional, nature games, and two Creation Exploration classes are all a part of this educational, fun-filled day. There will also be a full-day Challenge Ropes Course experience available for youth ages 14-18! The challenge course program requires us to have a minimum of 8 students, so invite your friends!

The cost for the day is $19 per child and $10 per adult. Families bringing 3 or more children will receive a $3 discount per child. The price includes all of the day's activities and a hot lunch.
