Free three for back to homeschool

August 19, 2:09 PM Sioux Falls Homeschooling Examiner Christin Berger

Many homeschool parents struggle with trying to balance their financial constraints with their desire to have plenty of fun, educational activities for their children. Here is my Free Three list for the week to help you as you plan your year.

The Outdoor Campus offers a wide array of classes and learning opportunities throughout the year. All of their classes for children are free and many of the adult classes are too. They also offer field trip opportunities and geocaching trails. Their website is very easy to navigate and they offer plenty of downloadable information that you can use in your homeschool. Make sure you sign up for their newsletter! The one I received today had a great recipe for sunshine in a cloud that my kids will love making.

The South Dakota Symphony is home to amazing musicians guided by a world class conductor, Mr. Delta David Grier. Would it surprise you to find out that you can experience all of this for free? The South Dakota Symphony allows free access to their dress rehearsals! If you would prefer to see the performance at the regular time they offer a number of different package deals including half-price subscriptions for new subscribers. You will not be disappointed with either choice. This symphony is nothing short of excellent! Sign up for their free newsletter to keep up with the many expanded opportunities they will be offering this year.

The Washington Pavilion has Free First Friday’s with free admission to the Pavilion and the Kirby Science Center. They offer additional activities and opportunities above and beyond their normal fare. Free First Fridays run from 5 – 8 PM and are much more fun than movie night in my opinion. The next First Friday will be on September 4th, make sure you look for us there!
