I have been researching home school programs & organizations, businesses & community based programs here in Alaska that would help our daughter Katie not only enjoy being home schooled, but also get even more opportunities for hands on learning of some really cool activities. Being in Alaska and an outdoor lov'in mama...naturally I want my daughter to grow up strong & confident that she can do all sorts of awesome things for hobbies or for life.
The first place I found was a site called
http://homeschooling.gomilpitas.com/trips/AlaskaTrips.htm
...and the first program listed under "ALASKA" was Alaska Kayak Academy
"A day program for home school families in Alaska. We run the program at an indoor water park in Anchorage. (907) 746-6600."
I checked out the site & found a great trip for families with children under eight on a self-guided Kayak adventure. This is down in Wasilla area, but would be a great activity to plan for to introduce Katie & her brother to Kayaking. Once over the age of 10 there are several winter & summer classes, trip, & safety training for children through out Alaska.
That ofcourse gets mom excited about oppertunities for Katie to experience life & the outdoors in a whole new way.
I'm searching for more oppertunities & will post them as I find them.
If you know of any great oppertunities for children home school or not here in Alaska, please share.
