Homeschool (Wednesdays)

Our Homeschool classes will be held in 5-week sessions with Wednesday or Thursday classes available to choose from. Please choose only one day per theme, as activities repeat.

Sign-up for all weeks or just those that interest you! Lessons are geared toward ages 5-10, but older students are welcome. Classes may be split (ages 5-7 and 8-10+) dependent on registration numbers.

All classes run from 1:00-2:30pm. The fee is $14 per child, per class and includes refuge admission for the day. Refuge Members save 10%!
