Homeschool Ed- Ventures

Homeschool Ed-ventures is a science education program designed for homeschooled children who enjoy hands-on learning and outdoor adventure. Each small class of students engages in cooperative, inquiry-based learning, guided by trained environmental educators.

The majority of our program takes place outdoors; taking advantage of the many habitats and seasons at Riveredge. Children develop a strong sense of their place in the natural world and a sense of belonging to both Riveredge and their homeschool community. Come discover our 485-acre outdoor classroom!

“Showed my child new and inventive ways to explore and play in nature. Developed appreciation for all the details to be found in the flora and fauna right here where we live. Helped child feel confident getting hands dirty, picking up bugs, exploring. Broadened child’s ideas of what to do outdoors. Great foundational, hands-on science instruction that will stick with kids all their lives. OUTSTANDING!!!!!!”

“Really sparked my daughter’s interest in the topics covered. Made her want to learn more and take the extra step in her assignments. She now views herself as someone who is really into learning about the environment.”
