Focus: The Homestead Club is a new nature-based educational program at Clarkston Family Farm, presented to you by our partner in outdoor education, Sarah Bann of Nature and Nurture, along with community garden coordinator Meg McGinn, and friend of the farm Lauren Kennedy Gittner.
This new club consists of 3 different series; it began with the inaugural Fall Series which focused on animals. This Winter Series (Jan 27 - Mar 31st) will focus on Homesteading Principals, followed by a Spring Series (April/May) focused on plants and gardening.
There will be two different time slots offered on Mondays, each will feature a safe indoor and outdoor learning environment and small group setting focused on nature-based activities and hands on learning.
Activities include: During this 8-week program, some of the things we will be learning about are: cooking and baking, hand crafts, growing and preserving food, reduce/reuse/recycle, live stock, and honey/syrup.
Dates: Mondays: January 27th, February 3rd, 10th & 24th, March 3rd, 10th, 17th & 31st (8 wks) . No meetings on Feb 17th and March 24th (Mid Winter/Spring Break)
Times: Morning Session: 10:30 am - 12::00 pm
Afternoon Session: 4:30 pm - 6:00 pm
Cost: $180
There is an additional childcare option available from 3:45-4:30 before the afternoon session for $20 ($2.50 per session). With this option, pick up will also be available for students coming from Independence Elementary.
Please note that all cancellations are subject to a $25 cancellation fee. No refund will be granted for cancellations occurring less than one week prior to the start of classes. Thank you for understanding.
Drop off and pick-up: In our Green Room (up the ramp next to the house on site). Club activities will be held on the farm’s many teaching, growing and farm animal spaces.
