Prairiewood Pack Wednesdays: Spring 2025

Details

**use the arrows above to scroll through a gallery of photos from past co-op sessions!** Families with students ages 4-14 are invited to weekly group sessions through our Prairiewood Pack Homeschool Co-op. Each season, your family will take on roles in the garden, with our farm animals, leading one or more story circles, and sharing a snack of your choice. After an initial 30 minutes on your "Farm Hand" team for each week, we'll gather to share an opening circle including a story, songs, and lunch before moving through our outdoor learning environment for almost 2 hours of open-ended exploring, sensory engagement, imaginative play, and occasional creative projects using minimal natural materials. We regather at the end of each 3 hour session to reflect on our days, practice care for our supplies and the land, and taste a snack prepared from our garden or from what families bring. PLEASE NOTE that enrollment in our homeschool co-ops is unlike other Prairiewood Forest School classes. At Prairiewood Pack, a caregiver will remain responsible for their child's safety and learning class Agreements, participate in each part of class, and help clean up every week. This caregiver will also need to participate in online discussion, and to sign up for leadership responsibilities at an in-person meeting before each semester begins. **Details at a Glance** when: 12 Wednesdays (2/5/2025 - 5/7/2025 with no class 3/19 OR 4/16) from 11am - 2pm PLUS a required planning meeting on January 15th (11am - 1pm) who: ages 4-14 WITH a caregiver who also participates in all parts of each session including Farm Hand tasks and clean-up (and, on designated weeks throughout the season, also shares a story and/or snack) where: Prairiewood Forest Classroom at St. Francis of the Woods (a 580 acre non-profit in Coyle, OK with the vision of transforming the world through community, creativity, and care for the land) cost: $150/student for 12 weekly sessions (most families pay this Standard Tuition which is reflective of the program's True Costs; as your financial situation allows, you may elect to instead enroll at Supporter Pricing to contribute to the Scholarship Fund.
