Raven’s Roots has been offering classes to the homeschool communities in Western Washington for the last 8 years now. Typically, we’ve offered immersion type courses where homeschool families meet with us for one day per month for 10 months. In 2023, we want to be more flexible and offer up custom classes, ranging in duration from a couple of hours to a full day, from Monday-Friday on a variety of topics. Classes can either take place at a location of your choice (a spot where your homeschool group usually meets ) or at our campus in Ferndale, WA. We have a 5 acre permaculture farm so our campus is ideal for permaculture themed classes. A minimum of 10 children is required for all classes to take place.
Class Pricing:
Short classes between 2-3 hours will be $20 per child with all children under the age of 6 allowed to attend for FREE. Minimum of 10 paid children is required for the class to happen. An additional $20 per hour will be charged for travel time if we are to travel to your location.
Full day classes will be 5 hours in duration and be $30 per child and children under 6 attend for FREE. Travel charges also apply to full day classes.
