A Nature-based Program in Ashland, Missouri
The Fox Creek Program
Fox Creek is an enrichment program for homeschool students between the ages of 6-12 in central Missouri.
The heart of the program is to allow children to be students as well as teachers, creating a vested interest in their academic studies. We will provide a different focus each day following the rhythm of the seasons. Students will learn, move, grow and play alongside peers of various ages and abilities.
