 Home School OptionsOutdoor Education is a great opportunity for home school students. 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, your group 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 for these programs. Whether you belong to a co-op or not, you can choose to come to a Home School Outdoor Education Day. These special days are held periodically throughout the fall, winter, and spring.  Home School Outdoor Education DayThis winter Black Rock Retreat will host an Outdoor Education day specifically for home school families with children ages six and over. Mark your calendars for Thursday, February 2, 2012, or Tuesday, February 7, 2012! From 9:00AM until 3:00PM our Outdoor Education Instructors will lead your children in discovery of God's creation. The day is full of hands-on activities and will include a morning devotion, two creation exploration class sessions, a take home manual and a hot lunch. Children will be divided into groups based on age. The cost for one day is $19 per child and $10 per adult. The price includes all of the day's activities and a hot lunch. Families bringing three of more children will receive a $3 discount per child. Winter 2012 Home School Outdoor Education Brochure download (528 KB) Tentative Schedule:
