Summer Camp for Homeschoolers Near Richmond, VA

Camp Whispering Woods

Kids loving Summer!

Camp Whispering Woods is a small overnight/Day coed Adventure Camp located in western Hanover County, VA , 20 minutes northwest Of Richmond. Our dream of providing kids ages 8-16 with a summer experience like no other will leave our campers wanting to return year after year.

We pride ourselves in creating a structured yet relaxed atmosphere in which kids are free to explore and try new things. We custom create an experience based on individual likes and dislikes. Our hope is that by participating in Camp Whispering Woods activities, our campers will make new friends, increase self-esteem, learn to work as part of a team, take responsibility, build positive values, and have fun doing it!

Camp Whispering Woods is privately owned and operated by a local home schooling family. The camp features over 10 acres of scenic woods with creeks and hiking trails to explore on foot. We have a swimming pool and a paintball field and offer arts and crafts, cooking, gaming, photography, good ole fashion running tag games, camp fires, Segway riding, and more.

Campers sleep in a cabin, a tent or in the Main-house. We want each child to be comfortable and think of camp as a home away from home.

Unschooling Rules: Off-Topic: A Gravity Composter for the Lazy Gardeners

Unschooling Rules: Off-Topic: A Gravity Composter for the Lazy Gardeners

I love composting, but have hated all of the steps that have traditionally gone with it. I did not want to shovel or sift or spin or even think about which composter was currently in use.

So, I put together a composting system that works really well. I thought I would share it here, as it epitomizes how I like to think about the world.

This is a cool idea. I might have to talk to Eddie about helping me make a composter like this one. :)

Off the top of your head, what is the value of X if: y=7.5 and z=3

“How will my child ever learn how to do Algebra like this? You’re telling me he’s just going to learn this on his own, while having fun? No friggin way! How will my child learn this when I don’t know how to do it, I suck at math!”

Awesomely well-written!
