The Lost Arts Week

Homeschoolers can learn new skills, make new friends, and explore some lost arts that are “new” again: September 20th—24th, 2010!

We are so excited to offer this highly praised program again. The fall is beautiful in Vermont! In 2008 we learned about beekeeping, catapults, whittling and creating edibles out of apples. In 2009 the children join their groups, the Turtles, Bears or Coyotes, in exploring such activities as:

  • Furniture and home repairs, Whittling whammy diddles, Structure Building, Food Preservation, Traditional Crafts, Herbal Remedies, Archery, Abacus, Quilting, Storytelling,
  • Stilt Walking, Fiber Arts, Beading, Letter Writing,
  • Square Dancing, Building Campfires, and much much more!

The list is endless and dependent on which artisans we bring for the week. Parents are free to bring crafts to share, read a book, relax, enjoy a hike, and eat great food prepared by others. Please check the website for more information.
