Merry Lea Homeschool Series 2009-2010
Each year, Merry Lea sponsors a series of class sessions for homeschooled
students covering a range of natural history and environmental topics. Sessions
are planned so that students can attend in successive years without significant
repetition of content while building on previous experiences. Students are
grouped to provide age appropriate instruction.
For each session, students spend a significant portion of time outdoors to take advantage of the wonderfully diverse landscapes at Merry Lea. Please dress appropriately for the predicted weather conditions.
Class Time: 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
Lunch: students should bring a packed lunch to each class.
Meeting locations: varies for each program; check each class description for its meeting location at Merry Lea. Directions to each location can be found at the Merry Lea web site, www.goshen.edu/merrylea/about/directions.php
Cost: $7.50 per student per session $25 maximum per family per session OR $35 per student for all five sessions if paid at the September class (save $2.50 for the series)
