Although it is joining the ranks of other features like The Craft and Mother's Nature Journal, I have a feeling, that much like the children who are creating it, this vision will soon prove itself worthy of standing alone rather than being a sub-header. Introducing:
Who: So far, a 10 year old boy, a 9 year old girl, and a 46 year old mom struggling to keep up.
Wanted: A multi-age homeschool pack that is in high-energy pursuit of expeditionary, project based, climate-action focused, outdoor, hands-on, nature-loving learning! (That's the What.)
When: Wednesdays
Where: The Outsiders Ranch, Sunriver, Oregon
Why: This answer will be made evident as our journey unfolds by the kids themselves! Although our pack of Outsiders might look tough and seem too busy being verbs to bother writing any down...this feature will highlight all of their strengths by publishing what's happening on the inside. Through stories, art, celebrations, and calls-to-action they will share what it feels like to be permanently "on-strike" and engaging a climate-action counter-culture.
However they were encouraged (or discouraged) to the door, this is the story of kids that somehow got the message that they "didn't fit in" so they opted out. The opted OUTSIDE to be exact. Outside the classroom. Outside "the box". Outside the common culture. Outside the front door.
We're featuring true stories about what happens when you brave to reclaim "deficits" and differences as the powerful and purposeful attributes for which the world is waiting. We're celebrating holistic education as it naturally arises; within the time we take to understand and accept our whole-selves and in turn those with whom we share this precious planet. One person, one pine tree, one damsel fly at a time...
