Nature-Immersed Learning in Kansas City

Together, Jenny and Bridgette have 14 years of homeschooling experience and a background in education, youth and homeschool programs, summer camps, and coaching. They have a passion to provide unique learning opportunities to the Kansas City homeschool community.

If you ever spot an old Toyota pickup on 69 North piled high with bright kayaks, two girls jamming to The Red Clay Strays, hair flying all around and hands out the window—give us a honk! We’ll flash big smiles and tell you to meet us at Between the Buoys!

Learning here is neither rushed nor confined to four walls.

We exist to cultivate minds and nurture hearts through arts, nature-based learning, movement, and meaningful work.
