Upcoming Events: Homeschool Weeks 2008 at Harvey Cedars!
Homeschool Week #1, June 2-6, Homeschool Week #2, June 9-15
 2 very special weeks designed specifically for the home school family! This is a great opportunity to get away for an inspirational, educational, and fun-filled week of vacation at the beautiful New Jersey shore! Each week offers a wide selection of classes for the whole family including marine biology, creative writing, drama, art, and much more!
The 5-day program will begin with dinner on Monday and conclude with breakfast Friday. The extended 7-day program will also begin with dinner Monday but will conclude Sunday afternoon.
Both weeks provide an excellent opportunity for you to get away with the whole family to be challenged and encouraged, and to get that rest and relaxation you have needed all year.
 Our presenters include noted names in home schooling such as Dr. Jim DeVries, Bruce and Mary Ann Eagleson, Dr. George Kelsey, Dr. Elaine Huber, and more. The program is designed to meet the needs of children and parents, and deliberately structured to provide a great balance of activities and free time. A certificate plus 3 to 5 hours of credit can be earned from these teachers.
