The Nature Study Club extends to each and everyone of our explorers the encouragement, nourishment, and guidance for an interesting and unique, natural world education. At the heart of For the Love of Homeschooling, we believe that all of our explorers can benefit from a natural world education, from the earliest explorers to the more seasoned explorers. We strive to fully include and capture the interest of each explorer, regardless of age or ability! Our club offers multiple levels of learning activities, a direct focus on family-style learning while catering to those different ability levels, plentiful STEAM opportunities for all ages, and the use of a wide range of academic skills in a fun and creative way!
