Have you ever wanted to provide your high school student with a hands-on learning experience that they’ll never forget? I know, I know. I’ve been there, too. You want to offer them something but you just don’t know what. You aren’t a science teacher and don’t have the mental capacity to really dive deep into the science topics they love. That’s why Greg Landry’s live science camps are perfect for busy homeschoolers!
When I was in high school, each class took a big Senior trip. Many times, I’ve thought about that trip and the memories that were made. It’s one of the few things I’m sad my daughter will miss out on, with being homeschooled.
But what if I could send her on an educational trip that would change her whole life?
That’s exactly what Greg Landry’s live science camps for teens will do!

Benefits of hands-on learning
There’s no denying that when you’re presented with an opportunity to dig in and get your hands dirty, you’ll learn more than just reading from an old textbook. When you can examine live items, conduct experiments and hands-on activities, discuss the topic with other inspired folks and really study the topics that interest you, you’re bound to retain more information.
