Beyond the Basics Session 2 - PKG DEAL 5 Weeks for price of 4! Includes one kid aged 10-18 and their accompanying adult
Join Session 2 of Jen Cote's unique, alternative, experiential, hands on, social thinking, outdoor learning adventure at Maine Forest Yurts with Bob and Page Crowley!
We will be going Into the Forest for a full day of science and more. Taking the scientific and collaborative approach to Survivor and survival style challenges. At least an hour of physical recreation. Ongoing hands-on building projects. Developing a positive community! Fire! Stories! Homework!
This experience is designed to challenge and support the attentive, active, enthusiastic learner who: enjoys experiential AND in depth education, tends to persevere in challenges-even if they may be cautious at first or need support, aged 10-18. Readiness for this really focuses on advanced attention, enthusiasm; stamina; ability to receive and give feedback respectfully (or accept coaching to do so readily); appreciation for nature, learning,and this experience; and successful history of facing challenges. Parents are integral part of the program, participating, helping, and teaching-making it all possible! We encourage kids to participate or observe activities at their comfort level, coaching them toward personal growth and accountability to the group. We encourage parents to support their child's unique needs, taking breaks or coaching on the side as is helpful.
Jen is an alternative education teacher with degrees in Biology and English, and additional training in Gifted and Special Needs education, therapeutic recreation, Collaborative Problem Solving, a variety of modalities that address sensory and other issues, and social skills building. An LCSW whose practice specialized in children and families, particularly anxiety and building interpersonal skills, you will find that I am comfortable supporting many kinds of students and focus on developing our positive social community very directly. I have been homeschooling my son and groups of children for 12 years. Bob Crowley is a retired certified Maine High School teacher and spectacular partner in this learning experience! Page Crowley co-teaches with us, keeps us all on track. I am so grateful to Bob and Page for their collaboration with me creating these awesome learning opportunities, challenges, and experiences for us all.
