Breakout Sessions

I am so excited about the Retreat breakout sessions. The breakout sessions are a series of classes held Friday afternoon from 2:00-4:30. You'll get to choose between a few different classes, and will have the opportunity to discuss, listen, and learn! More details about some of the classes will be posted soon, but to give you an idea of what is being offered here you go...

Session One:

Class Two:
Untying the Knots of Scholar Phase
Once we grasp the concept of core and love of learning phases and start swinging freely about...we often find ourselves all tangled in knots when our children are ready for scholar phase.

HIP Dads Debrief
So now that you've made it through Friday, the 'educational' day at the Retreat what now?! How can Dads be a part of the homeschool experience? Come talk about what you've learned and what (if anything) you'd like to see happen in your family's homeschooling journey once you return home.
