The Lutheran Camp on Petit Jean Mountain
Outdoor Classroom
for homeschooling families
Every year more parents choose to school their children at home. It can be a daunting task.
​
That's where the Outdoor Classroom comes in.
Homeschooling families generally have little difficulty covering the core subjects (reading, math, language arts), but sometimes they can use a little help with other parts of the curriculum (science, history, geography and fine arts).
​
Camp Trinity introduced the Outdoor Classroom in fall 2020 to assist homeschooling families with disciplines outside the core curriculum. The Outdoor Classroom has included sessions on wildlife flora and fauna, history, wilderness survival, physical and cultural geography, mountain music, sculpture, drawing, photography, archeology, botany, engineering, and orienteering. Classes are taught by Camp Trinity staff and guest presenters.
​
Guest speakers have included Petit Jean State Park interpreters, Arkansas Game & Fish Commission officers, University of Arkansas Extension agents, zookeepers, cowboys, master gardeners, law enforcement officers, helicopter pilots, firefighters, EMTs, historians, professional musicians and artists, zoologists and exotic animal keepers, as well as archeologists and veterinarians.
​
Families can choose when to participate and pay just for the classes they attend or they can sign up for the entire 10-week semester at a steep discount (prices below). Those who sign up for the semester are not required to attend every session but can attend only the classes of most interest.
​
Most sessions include children age 7-14. If your child is older/younger, and you are not sure if they can participate, please email the director at trinitypetitjean@gmail to discuss your child's options. Depending on the subject, participants may be divided into groups by age.

The cost for the entire semester is $240 for the first child from each family (40 percent off), $108 for each additional child from the same family (40 percent off).
