Giant Chicken Roosts on RJ barn
posted 5 Mar 08Ornithologists Baffled, Eggs Delicious
A Giant chicken has settled on the RJ barn roof. No one knows where it came from, but scientists have pronounced the bird "mostly harmless" to anyone not dressed as a bug or a seed. A deviled egg will be prepared for lunch at next week's Tuesday session.
Don't Miss the AK Camps
posted 4 Mar 08Friday December 3rd, 7:00-8:30PM
It's time to register for the Ancestral Knowledge Woods Wise camp for this summer. Registration will be handled by Ancestral Knowledge. I will wait a couple of weeks before sending this information out to the larger homeschool community. You can register with a deposit of $50 per camper.
Please go to the following links and click on the program you are interested in. You'll see that they are planning to do two different programs during each week to accommodate new comers and those who have done it before. Woods Wise Day Camp is for those coming for the first time and Wisdom of the Woods is for those who have done the program before. There is interaction between the groups. Also note that there will be an overnight on Thursday night although this is not mentioned in their description on the website. Dinner Thursday night and breakfast Friday morning will be provided. The overnight is not mandatory but those who have done it say it is a lot of fun. There is a campfire, storytelling, and other cool activities.
Review the Ancestral Knowledge Calendar, then if you click on the program name, it goes to a description of the program. Please note that the website says it costs $180 but it is $150 for RJMembers. Just note on the application that you are an RJ Member. Registration will be closed at 20 for each week.
