[@RachaelNewman]

Loved it! Thank you! I started a Nature Study co-op last year and it has been such a blessing.

[@adventureswiththemacs8066]

Ooh I’d love to chat about this with you!!

[@adventureswiththemacs8066]

What do you do when there is bad weather? We have all 4 seasons where we live!

[@gracegreenwell2657]

love your hair!

[@livinginhisgrace7520]

That sounds so awesome ! Wish I lived closer :)

[@cortneymckinney9215]

I’m interested to know how y’all teach apologetics and have the debates…what materials you use and how you facilitate the debates. 😊

[@jacquelines.3911]

Interested in this as well!

[@Mommyof3arrows]

Me too!!

[@hannahtaylor854]

What literature curriculum does your group use for elementary

[@handsathome]

I am interested to know how the literature part is set up. I an interested in starting a co-op focusing on jhigh/high school as well.

[@groundrunner752]

Does this not just sound like school with extra steps?

[@RootedinRest]

Only meeting twice a month and focusing on the beauty of nature, art, and good literature? Edifying conversations, prayer, and healthy debate? No, doesn’t sound like it to me 😉

[@adventureswiththemacs8066]

I think you’ve mentioned it before… apologies for the repeat… could you let me know how you learned how to “teach” nature study? And the nature journaling - did you say John Muir?

[@hillaryenloe]

She has a recent ish video where she is talking about the book she used on nature journaling and teaching herself! Maybe someone else will know which one it is!

[@learningbetweenthepages527]

This sounds amazing! What would you do if the weather was poor?

[@katiacleroux7376]

Funny how the Lord places things in our path to answer prayers! We're expecting #5 and losing our main vehicle with it, therefore will not be able to make it to our current forest school. I've always dreamed of a co-op, but haven't managed to bring local interest to one. This gave me the push, as i was wondering what we would do next year to meet our needs!

Have you guys had to deal with getting insurance for your group? Everywhere we go in our small communities (churches) they are requiring insurance. 😢

[@gretchenfrance5695]

What do you do if it’s raining?!

[@RootedinRest]

Our parks have large pavilions! We’ve met under there in the rain a few times.

[@adventureswiththemacs8066]

I’m curious about weather as well… I’m in Pennsylvania and we get cold/snowy weather.

[@hillaryenloe]

Our library has a community room you can reserve for winter months!
