Maker Camp

Maker Camp has begun!

Come join us at the Maker Barn, an official host site for Maker Camp, on July 25-29th from 1:00-3:30 and work with our makers to complete projects. Cost for on-site camp is only $5 to help offset costs of supplies. Projects are designed for students ages 7-12. Older students are welcome to come and participate and may work on challenge projects.

The Maker Barn is located on the campus of Extraordinary Education at 9522 Carraway Lane, Magnolia, TX 77354. Just off FM 2978 at the back of The Woodlands. Please register if you plan to attend so we can have enough supplies on hand.

Conventions can be as overwhelming as the questions that lead to a decision to home educate. Booth after booth in the exhibit hall, multiple workshop sessions to choose from, and the daunting task of figuring out exactly what you should do first are all challenges most first time home schoolers face. THSC is here to serve you and we want to take the guesswork out of your Convention experience.
The New to Home School Pre-Convention Seminar is a three-session offering designed to help you find your way to a great beginning. Join others new to home education in this valuable time of discovery.
