We pride ourselves on offering a variety of classes to enhance the Home School experience, we strive to connect children to the outdoors, through science, art, hands-on learning, and play.
Shaker’s Acres offers a unique outdoor creative experience, with an emphasis on art and science while taking advantage of the Farm environment. Each class begins with a farm tour to visit and feed the animals, before heading to the outdoor classroom to delve into an age appropriate hands-on experience. Inspiration comes from artists, books, and nature, and each class is a new experience!
