Voyagers

Eagle's Nest Voyagers Co-op was created to enrich the education of elementary and middle school-aged children by offering group setting classes, giving our children an opportunity to try things Mom and Dad might not do at home.  It is a wonderful place to meet other homeschoolers and make friends.  The kids seem to like it too.  J  We even provide a structured environment for little pre-school Voyagers with age-appropriate toys, playtime and snacks! 

All classes are taught from a Christian perspective.  

Membership in Eagle’s Nest is a prerequisite for participating in Voyagers.

Voyagers is for parents, too, and Mom or Dad must participate by either teaching or assisting in a classroom [though not necessarily their own child’s classroom].

Past classes include Art Appreciation, Medieval Times, Nature in a Nutshell, Animal Habitats, God and Family, Ceramics, Puppets, American Girls, Georgia History, Karate, and many others.

Classes are offered one day per week, for two 10-week semesters.  We meet at Crossroads Church on Thursdays from 12:30-3:30.  Most classes are divided up by age groups so that our children can enjoy fun, age-appropriate activities with kids their own age.  Parents and their children can sign up for their preferred classes each semester, although placement is done on a first-come, first-served basis.

Our plans for the 2008-2009 school year are as follows:

bulletOrientation Meeting:  There are two dates for orientation.  Attending one of the orientation meetings is mandatory.  The first will be during Eagle’s Nest Round Up, to be held at the Fair Grounds in Newnan on July 31st.  The second will be held on August 4th from 7:00-8:30 at the Peachtree City Library.  The orientation meeting will provide new and returning members with all the information they need for this year in Voyagers [which is why you have to come!] including co-op guidelines and expectations.  We will also have a question and answer period in case anything is unclear. 
bulletUtility Fee:  A $30 co-op utility fee will be due at the orientation meeting for all new members.  The utility fee covers both semesters of Voyagers.
bulletClass Registration:  Class descriptions and registration forms will be available at the orientation meeting [just another reason why you have to come!].  For all but the youngest classes (Pre-K 4 and below) there will be at least 2 choices for each hour.  Registration forms will be turned in at Crossroads Church on August 14th.  Exact time and place TBA. 
bulletPayment Drop-off:  Payment for classes is due August 28th at Crossroads Church.  Exact time and place TBA.  Class fees typically range from $5-$20 per class and cover the cost of supplies [books, arts and crafts, snacks, etc.] that each teacher buys for the semester.
