Please note: Simply Homeschool Bush Camps have a much looser schedule than our typical camp schedule. When I (Karen) take my kids camping, we have a no-time policy. We wake up when we feel like it, eat when we're hungry, and do what we feel like doing. A significant goal for our Bush Camps is to create space and time to relax into each moment and to be completely immersed into what we are doing. We will send out a list of activity ideas and resources you can pack to facilitate these. Simply Homeschool will provide a common area with activities such as our Bush Library, tables, benches and ground mats for board games and art.
