We Just Blew Up Our Own Schedule (In a Good Way)
Okay, village. We have news.
When we first opened the doors..well, technically we open in August, but you know what we mean… we had one plan: four days a week, full immersion, walk the whole trail together. And that's still an incredible option. Truly. Four days of quests, badges, project based learning, and field trips is the real deal.
But then we got to thinking.
What about the family who wants in, but four days feels like a lot right now? What about the homeschooler who just wants to come build something wild every other Friday and see what happens?
So we did something about it. Here's what's new:
📅 Two Days a Week
Same books. Same quests. Same badges. Same field trips. Same everything, actually, just packed into two days instead of four. Same destination, shorter hike. Families keep a steady rhythm at home to stay on pace, and the whole village trail is still theirs to walk.
(Quick note: because our four-day families are the backbone of our full-time village, they'll always take priority when space is limited. But we're thrilled to open up this wider trail.)
💥 Build & Blow Up Fridays
This one might be our favorite. Every other Friday, for three hours, kids show up and build something loud, something clever, or something that makes a very satisfying noise. Cardboard engineering. Circuits doing things circuits shouldn't do. Science experiments that go boom (safely — we checked).
Parents stay for the first visit, then drop-off is available once you've read Hunt, Gather, Parent and The Secrets of Happy Families
$40–$70 per session, depending on what we're building that week
We need 5 kids to make it happen each time… otherwise, full refund, no hard feelings
