Description:During this twice a month class for 5-10 year olds, we will explore the outdoor world of Berrien County. Each class will have a topic that is usually based on what is “happening” outside. This class will hopefully be a supplement to your studies at home, and will be as “hands-on” as possible. Classes will be on Fridays and will meet at Love Creek or other parks in the County.
Most sessions will be held at Love Creek, but a few will take place at off-site locations. Class includes all equipment and refreshments. Parents welcome to stay.
*Please note: it is important to make as informed a decision as possible when choosing your student's Community Resource classes. Most locations will allow a student to drop a class after one meeting, at no charge if it wasn't a good fit for the student, but not all. Some classes plan ahead based on the number that have signed up and have purchased materials, hired teachers, etc. and there might be a fee for class time or materials given to the student if the student drops after one or two meetings. The school cannot pay for classes that students do not complete, so choose wisely; if you do not take the class off of your student's schedule by the deadline, you may be asked to pay for the class time incurred prior to dropping the class.
