With Homeschooling in full swing around here, I'm trying to get a handle on some outside the house events that we could attend to stir things up a bit. Here are some fun things around the KC area for Homeschoolers:
CoCo Key Water Resort Days
2014 Homeschool CoCo Key Water Resort Days, rate is only $5.00 plus tax when you identify yourself as a homeschooler, from 1-9pm: Feb 21st, April 25th, June 20th, Aug 15th, Oct 17th, Dec 19th.For questions, call 816-737-4766. Children ages 2 & under are free.
This event is open to homeschool students, family & friends. CoCo Key is also opened to the public on these dates.
We've never been but sounds like fun!
Kansas City Zoo
The Zoo has a program called "When Science Attacks" that is designed for homeschoolers. They describe the program including " a small tour, activities, possibly an animal encounter, and a take home activity, not to mention the opportunity to engage with our professional Zoo Educators on a variety of topics.
Sessions for the first semester are September through December and you can choose between Wednesdays or Thursdays. It is designed for K through 8th grade. K through 2nd grade cost is $6. 3rd grade and up cost is $8. You must preregister for each class and be a FOTZ (Friend of the Zoo) to register.
We've been to lots of storytimes at the zoo so this looks fun! We usually bring a lunch and stay for the day when we attend a class.
They have three different homeschool days described here. We were looking forward to going to one but they are already sold out...even for April! Must be a fun event!
Know of anything for homeschoolers? Please share in the comments and I'll try to update!
