🌀 STEAM Into Native Cultures
Our older kids will dive into how Native peoples use math, science, and nature to track time and understand the world around them. Through the medicine wheel, they’ll make connections between seasons, life stages, and natural patterns — seeing STEAM through the eyes of Indigenous traditions.

📚 Story & STEAM— Look, Grandma! Ni, Elisi!
Our little learners will enjoy a sweet story about Bo and his grandmother preparing to sell handmade marbles at the Cherokee National Holiday. They’ll get to explore volume and mass through a hands-on STEM activity — and finish with a fun game of Cherokee marbles!

🌤️ After the tours, bring your lunch, picnic blankets, and enjoy time outdoors together! The property offers plenty of space for relaxing, exploring, and connecting with other homeschool families.
✅ Outdoor exhibits
