Now in our 9th year, our unique homeschool enrichment program offers students: 

  • hands-on, practical and artistic skills, relevant for past and present generations

  • a wide range of folk arts and crafts. Arts & crafts explored range from food arts to fiber arts, oral and movement arts, paper and ink arts, wood and metal arts, traditional living skills such as soap making and candle making, and more.

  • a dedicated exploration of local flora and fauna, allowing students more opportunities to identify plants, animals and mycelium while using the natural world as a platform for creating art

  • ample time spent in the great outdoors, with a focus on foraging and identification (ex: picking wild chicory to take back to the classroom and utilize in a medicinal recipe)

  • focus on building relationships with each other, creating a strong community and lasting bonds

  • teaching inspiration drawn from local craftspeople, including experts in the fields of herbal medicine, mushroom/plant/bird identification, etc...

  • easily accessible location in East Boulder near 75th and Arapahoe
