Conference Echos: Your Origins Matter
2016-03-11 19:00 - 21:00 (America/Denver) | Clifton Bible Chapel, 523 32 Road, Clifton, CO, 81520, United States
Christian homeschoolers know all about the account in Genesis, and that evolution is false. So beyond that, do our origins really matter? Dr. Jason Lisle from ICR says, “Yes!” In this DVD talk, he shows “the central importance of the history in Genesis to major Christian doctrines and shows how the decline in society is connected to the increasing rejection of Biblical Creation. The defense of a literal, historical Genesis is absolutely crucial to the success of the Church in its call to make disciples of all nations (2015 CHEC Conference Brochure).
This is a family event. Light snacks will be provided.

Conference Echoes- "America's Deadly Obsession" by Peter Heck

Join us to for our Conference Echoes series as we watch a DVD recording of Peter Heck sharing a powerful and humorous keynote message, filmed at the 2015 CHEC conference in Denver.

AMERICA'S DEADLY OBSESSION

Self-centeredness is the human condition and it has been for a long time. Even the Prophet Isaiah noted, "We all, like sheep, have gone astray; each of us has turned our own way." But modern American culture has elevated the idol of "ME" to unprecedented heights. From reality TV to American Idol, to self-help gurus who peddle the snake oil of self-empowerment and a social media revolution that presumes to turn the mundane into the monumental, self-obsession is a way of life in the United States. But why is it a problem and what harm can it really bring to us? This presentation exposes our dangerous and deadly preoccupation with "ME" and how the future of society and souls hand in the balance. ~2015 CHEC Conference Brochure

This is a family event- so bring your young and old alike.

Light snacks will be provided.

Homeschool Testing in Grand Junction
2016-05-02 08:45 - 2016-05-03 13:30 | Calvary Bible Church, 629 27 1/2 Road, Grand Junction, CO, 81506, United States
Homeschool Testing in Grand Junction offered by Classical Conversations
The Stanford-10 National Achievement Test (SAT-10) is a nationally-recognized test used by educators across the United States, particularly in private schools and homeschools. As a norm-referenced test, the Stanford-10 not only offers the home educator information on their student’s achievement, it also provides comparisons based on nationwide test results. The first version of the Stanford Achievement series was published in 1926. Its history and academic excellence has earned its acceptance as a nationally normed achievement test and meets most states’ testing requirements.

We offer the Unabbreviated Stanford Achievement Test, Tenth Edition for K-12th grades. For K-3rd grade we use the Form A (traditional language section) for 4th-12th grades we use Form D (comprehensive language section).

Even though the tests are not timed, we offer schedules as general guidelines. Statistics show that 95% of students finish in the alloted time. We have found the recommended schedule works for most students. We don’t want to rush anyone, but we don’t want to frustrate those who have finished. If time allows, the Test Coordinator will allow the student to finish the incomplete sections at the end of the day. Pearson suggests that more time can be given if the student is working productively, but not more than one and a half times more.

You can contact Jennifer Coors who is the Test Coordinator for this homeschool testing in Grand Junction.
To register for the test, please visit Homeschool Testing Services

Alpha Omega Institute is an educational organization dedicated to teaching the Biblical and scientific evidence of creation throughout the world.

Society is in the midst of great cultural confusion. The church and family are under attack and our children and youth are constantly challenged by opposing worldviews and moral decay. Evolution is presented as “scientific fact” virtually everywhere, causing young and old alike to question Biblical values and faith. Alpha Omega Institute exists to provide solid answers to the real questions students and adults are asking.

AOI was established in 1984 under the direction of Dave and Mary Jo Nutting. Today AOI is a worldwide educational outreach dedicated to strengthening Christians and reaching others by teaching the truth about science, exposing the problems of evolutionary worldviews, and defending the accuracy of the Bible beginning with the Creation Account in Genesis.

AOI helps people of all ages:

Discover answers to questions about evolution, creation, and the Bible.
Understand the foundational importance of Genesis to Christian doctrine.
Recognize evolutionary bias and its effects on society.
Stand firm and defend their faith with boldness, gentleness, and confidence.

Parent Practicum in Grand Junction
2016-06-01 - 2016-06-03 | River of Life Alliance Church, 701 24 1/2 Rd, Grand Junction, CO, 81505, United States
The Parent Practicum in Grand Junction is a 3-day encouraging and equipping event for all homeschoolers or even those considering it. Absolutely free for parents, and exciting, educational camps are available for children at a nominal cost.

Have you ever redeemed a coupon? What did you get in return for that little piece of paper? an ice cream cone? a discount on laundry detergent? a free movie ticket?

Have you ever wished you could redeem your education? “Return it” for something more valuable to you? Many parents begin the homeschooling journey determined to give their children a better education than the one they received. But, many of us wish we could transform our own educations, too. Parent Practicums offer parents that chance!

Our 3-Day Parent Practicum in Grand Junction will offer encouragement, inspiration, and equipping to parents and interested educators. Each summer, parents at all stages of the homeschooling journey spend three days delving into the underlying philosophy and the practicalities of the classical model; then, we challenge ourselves to dig deeper into a specific subject, discovering the truths behind the facts and becoming students ourselves. We learn new ideas and vocabulary, we begin to understand how to identify and fill in the gaps in our own educations, and we wrestle with big ideas in the company of a like-minded community; in short, we practice learning classically! As an added bonus, we get to model the skills of learning for our children; we show them how exciting it is to learn new ideas and demonstrate that learning is a lifelong pursuit.

Student camps are offered at low cost for families attending together and parents attend FREE.

Parent Practicums—where lifelong learning can be a family affair!

Contact by email Wendy Massey or call her at (970) 260-5114

CHRIST THE CORNERSTONE

The Rocky Mountain Homeschool Conference is a conference for the whole family. As homeschool families, a lot of things are fighting for our time: academic excellence, character training, extra-curricular activities, entrepreneurial ventures ...
All of these things may be healthy and good, but it’s easy to let them steal from the most important thing. This year, we encourage you to focus on the One who can provide a strong foundation for us and our families: Jesus Christ, “a cornerstone chosen and precious” (1 Peter 2:6).

Summer Music Camp for Ages 3-6
2016-07-25 10:00 - 2016-07-29 12:00 | Monument View Bible Church, 1173 17 1/2 road, Fruita, CO, 81521, United States
Elementary Summer Music Camp 2016 will include singing, movement, rhythm, steady beat, music notation, children's literature and music, music technology, Boomwhackerstm, drumming, singing games, parachute music games and much, much more!

This is a great time to let your children enjoy learning about music. Many homeschooling families don't have the advantage of having their children in a group music class. There are great advantages to participating in group music. It allows for your child(ren) to learn from others, play games with music and simply enjoy themselves as they learn about music.

Sign up for this Summer Music Camp. It is sure to be a hit with your children. Diane Farmer is a veteran teacher of music in the public school system. She retired in 2015 after being a music teacher at Toupe Elementary for many years. Your children will be delighted as she shares her love of music with them.
All of my children participated in the Music Camp last year. They ranged in age from 3 to 13, all 7 of them loved the camp. They have a greater appreciation for music and still sing some of the songs they learned. They really enjoyed the Boomwhackerstm and popcorn song. I highly recommend it.
-- Taneil Lawton

For more information or to register, email Diane Farmer or call (970) 242-2428.

Cost is $50/student, class sizes are limited.
Ages 3-6 class will run from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.
Ages 7-11 class will run from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.

SPICE Friday Family Film: Indescribable
2016-12-30 18:30 - 21:00 | Clifton Bible Chapel, 523 32 Road, Clifton, CO, 81520, United States
The love of God is greater far
Than tongue or pen can ever tell…

“Two men…Eight centuries…One Song.”

“Indescribable is a feature-length film based on the historical events surrounding the writing of the hymn, “The Love of God”. Blynn Lehman (Seth Pruski) is an adventurous boy determined to help his family face the financial struggles brought about by WWI. Since his father (Rich Swingle) has already begun writing a song about the love of God, Blynn and his siblings try to help him finish it. Their comical failed attempts to write a verse for the song cause Blynn to realize he doesn’t really understand what it means to love God. After Blynn stumbles across the perfect verse to finish the song, the hunt for the author begins, leading them from an old asylum to a scholarly Rabbi, where they learn that an ancient Jewish Rabbi living in Germany during the time of the First Crusade originally composed the poem they are considering. When the family receives tragic news, Blynn’s struggle to understand God’s love comes to a climax. Ultimately he learns what it means to love God with all your heart and soul and mind and strength.”

FREE Introduction to Homeschooling Seminar
2017-01-07 09:00 - 12:00 | Clifton Bible Chapel, 523 32 Road, Clifton, CO, United States
Are you thinking about homeschooling?
Are you just starting out and need some pointers?
Are you already homeschooling but need a little encouragement, practical support, or clarification of Colorado Homeschool Law?
This FREE Introduction to Homeschooling Seminar is for you!
SPICE at Home is the Grand Junction region's support for homeschoolers, and Colorado's statewide support organization, CHEC (Christian Home Educators of Colorado) is partnering with us to bring this introductory seminar to Grand Junction. We know it can be intimidating to decipher state laws regarding homeschooling, plus there are so many options out there for curriculum and, frankly, how does it look on a practical day-to-day basis? We'll have experienced homeschool veterans talking about Colorado Homeschool Law, the Nuts & Bolts of how it all works, and developing a vision behind your family's decision to homeschool, and how there can be so much more than just a "good education at home." Whether you're just starting out for the first time with a kindergartner, pulling older kids out of the public school system, or learning how to homeschool independent of any government program, this free seminar will have helpful information for your family. You'll learn more about additional support organizations, as well, like CHEC (statewide support) and the Homeschool Legal Defense Association (HSLDA) for national support and legal protection.
Join SPICE on Saturday, January 7, 2017 at Clifton Bible Chapel (523 32 Road) from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM for three 50-minute sessions as we cover the basics of homeschooling.
We encourage couples to attend together, if possible, and grandparents are welcome as well. Please plan your own childcare arrangements for younger children. If obtaining childcare is a hardship that would prevent you from being able to attend, please let us know in your contact information (register below).

Light snacks and hot drinks will be provided during breaks.

Please register as soon as possible using the form below. If you have any questions, please use the comments/requests portion of the form to do so.

We look forward to serving you!

The Western Colorado Children's Water Festival is for 5th GRADERS ONLY

I, Lynette Wilhelm, will be heading up the group for the local - independent homeschooling kids that would like to participate at this years Water Festival. Please e-mail me with student names, age, grade. I also need some parents to stay and help - e-mail me if you can. jade_star2@yahoo.com

Depending on how many students we have, I will need a few additional parent volunteers to help out that day. Children should dress to be in the sun and GET WET! As well, they will need to bring a sack-lunch for the day. This is an all day activity with inside and outside activities.

The Western Colorado Children's Water Festival is a great fun day activity to come out and get a hands-on look at everything about water!

Students have an opportunity to learn about the variety of water related career opportunities, as well as water rights, water in the human body, water conservation, water pollution, water safety, water species, water treatment, the dependency of water in a variety of industries, and much more.

Presentations are structured to the fifth grade learning level, which allows the students to retain the information in a hands on and educational manner. We work closely with school districts, private schools, and home schools to match the festival experience with their water curriculum.

of five or six years of age and older.
As always, parents should decide what is best for their own family.
If younger children attend with your family, please bear in mind that we will be a facility belonging to another. The safety of your children and other dancers should never be placed in compromise due to lack of vigilance on the part of any parent.

Homeschool Summits is bringing out its newest online summit March 25-30: Homeschool Curriculum Summit 2.0!

This free, online event will put homeschool veterans, leaders, and curriculum experts on your own screen at home- like having a face-to-face interview. The goal is to give home educators expert guidance and an inside look into multiple curricula for math, science, language arts, history, social studies, and more! You can join anytime during the event.

Don’t be overwhelmed by curriculum choices, and alleviate curriculum regret.

Curriculum regret (noun): the feeling experienced by a home educator, who, upon having invested hours of research and large amounts of money in a chosen curriculum, comes to the realization half-way through the said curriculum or designated “school year” that it doesn’t fit the child or the family; curriculum regret usually results in tears, and resistance to the chosen course of schooling, or abandonment of the curriculum all-together accompanied by feelings of guilt related to the amount of money and time invested in it.

Join the online summit and learn to ...

…evaluate your curriculum options with a Christian worldview,

...identify the right fit for every student, for every subject

...and continue to home educate your children with confidence!!!

Are you ready for your best year of Christ-centered homeschooling?

Get your free pass now!

About the Event:

25+ videos in a personable, interview-style format

Daily devotions on Facebook with Rachael Carman to encourage you to abide in Christ

OOPS! VISIT THE CALENDAR ON THE HOME PAGE TO FIND SKI AND RIDE INFO FOR THIS YEAR!

2024 Ski and Ride Season has arrived!
Please read this in full. The link to sign up to ski or ride each Monday is at the bottom of the page.

2024 MONDAY DATES: 1/08/24, 1/22/24, 1/29/24, 2/05/24, 2/12/24, 2/26/24

Check-in will begin at 9 AM each Monday at a table in the Powderhorn Lobby. Parents/guardians are asked to assist their student/s through the rental shop, and this is fully expected of every parent/guardian who purchases a chaperone ticket. Students should be gathered outside between 10 and 10:15 AM; lessons begin at 10:30 AM.

The Powderhorn Ski and Ride program is for students 8 to 18 years of age. Any student who is new to skiing or snowboarding (riding) must take a full day lesson on their first date of participation. New students may join our group on any of our scheduled Mondays, and, if desired, students may choose skiing one day, and snowboarding on another. All students MUST take a lesson without any exceptions. Powderhorn’s instructors take roll-call and check in with our group coordinators if any students on their class list are missing.

Students with disabilities are asked to participate with a reservation through CDA (Colorado Discover Ability); please call (970) 257-1222.

Chaperone tickets and rentals are only available to parents/guardians of participating students, not for siblings, friends, or other family members.

—————————————-

RFID LIFT TICKET CARDS
Powderhorn is issuing lift tickets in the form of RFID cards. RFID lift cards will be issued at check-in each morning of Ski & Ride Co-op, and it will be the responsibility of all participants to return their cards at the end of the day. Un-returned cards will be considered lost.

Lost cards are $20 to replace. A one-time $20 deposit for participants will be collected at check-in prior to participation. Venmo will be available at check-in as an immediate cash withdrawal, or Refunds will be issued by the middle of March. Parents may also write a check (separate from their ski/ride payment) and provide a self-addressed, stamped envelope. Deposit checks will be held by a group coordinator and mailed back by the middle of March.

*STUDENTS AND CHAPERONES WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO PARTICIPATE WITHOUT THE $20 DEPOSIT FOR RFID TAGS.*

We cannot guarantee a chaperone ticket ahead of time, but do keep track of who has had one in order to share them around as fairly as possible.

Reservations will be the responsibility of the parent to complete online in advance. Reservations will close each Friday night prior to the Monday ski day. Please use the Google Docs links provided below. Only register your student for the coming week between Tuesday morning and Friday night. Do not register for multiple weeks as your child’s lesson level may change from week to week. Liability waivers must be completed for lessons and rentals, are required at the first date of participation, and are good for the season. Waivers will be available at the check-in table.

Parents will pay upon check-in to the group coordinator at our table in the Powderhorn lobby. Monday payment options are cash, check or Venmo. Our group coordinator will make a single payment to Powderhorn. If your child/ren is/are registered and cannot make it, please let the group coordinator know as soon as possible.

Helmets are provided with student rentals at no additional cost.
Personal health assessments the morning of participation is required prior to coming to Powderhorn (i.e. stay home if you’re sick).

Each family is requested to bring a platter of delicacies
prepared with thought and care for composition and presentation.
Please plan a generous amount to be shared,
as the dancing always increases the appetite!
This is not intended to be a dinner, so a bite to eat
at home beforehand will benefit everyone!
Table service will be provided, however, it is requested that each family
provide service for its hors d’oeuvres or dessert platter.
All personal service items and platters should be retrieved at the close of the evening.
A FAMILY CONTRA DANCE
The Snowflake Gala has truly been planned with families in mind, and it provides a wonderful opportunity for our children to practice decorum in a more formal setting.
Given the nature of contra dancing, it is best suited for children of five or six years of age and older who can follow the directions of the caller.
If younger children attend with your family, please bear in mind that we will be a church facility generously opened to our group. Children should remain in the main event area, unless accompanied by an adult.
The safety of all in attendance should never be compromised due to lack of vigilance by any parent. It is also imperative to be respectful of the band and their equipment.
NOW ALLEMANDE!
Admission payment forms are cash, check, Venmo or Zelle.
Information included in a separate email.

Friday Homeschool Ski and Ride
2025-01-03, 2025-01-10, 2025-01-17, 2025-01-24, 2025-02-14, 2025-02-21 | Powderhorn Mountain Resort, 48338 Powderhorn Rd, Mesa, Co, 81643, United States
Friday Ski/Snowboard Group

If you would like the package price, click on the half-day or full day option, then add the rentals and the lift ticket.

Remember! Sign-ups close Tuesday night, I cannot add you after Tuesday, but I can remove you if you sign-up and can't make it, so it's better to sign-up if you are unsure about going.

Hello Skiers and Snowboarders! Our 2025 season is just around the corner. Here is how the new season looks:

There have been a few changes this year.

First, Tamar is “retiring” from running the Friday program, and I, Katie Bretton, will be taking over.

Second, there is a change in the dates due to Powderhorn's new policies. We will still have 6 weeks total.

The dates for this year are:

January 3, 10, 17, 24

February 14 and 21.

We will meet for lessons from 10am-12pm. Lessons are for students who are 8-18 years of age. There will be no adult lessons offered at this time. Every student participating in this program MUST take a ½ day lesson. If you have never skied or snowboarded before, you must take a full day (4 hour) lesson the first week and a ½ day lesson beginning the second week.

All reservations are done online in advance. Reservations close 3 nights prior to our lesson on Fridays, which means your reservation needs to be made by Tuesday evening in order to ski/snowboard on Friday. There will be NO add-ons. I can cancel your reservation if you cannot make it on Friday, but cannot add you once the reservations are closed on Tuesday. So if you are unsure, register and I can cancel if needed. Payment is due on Friday when you pick up your ticket from me at the homeschool registration table in the lodge. I accept checks made out to me, Katie Bretton, cash or Venmo. Powderhorn asks that you register each participant each week because proper lesson levels and equipment needed can change from week to week.

This year, I will issue each participant an RFID card instead of a lift ticket. Each participant must purchase the RFID card for $5 at the first lesson. Please include this fee for each participant at your first payment. If you still have last year's card, you can exchange that and not have to pay the $5. This is a one time fee unless you lose or forget your card. It is your responsibility to keep the card for each lesson you wish to participate in. You will bring the card to me each week and I will swap your used RFID card for a new one with the current week's information loaded on it. This process will repeat each week. If you lose or forget your card, I cannot swap you for a new, loaded card, so you will need to purchase a new card from Powderhorn for $20 in order to participate. The RFID card will get you on the lift, even after your lesson, until closing time. Don't worry, it will all make sense after the first week.

Unfortunately, I can no longer offer adult tickets to grown siblings or friends. Chaperone lift tickets and rentals are ONLY for parents/guardians of participating students. Powderhorn asks that any person purchasing a chaperone ticket please assist getting students through the rental shop and out to lessons on time.

Prices are as follows:

½ day lesson: (10am-12pm)

lesson, ticket, and rental $59.00

full day lesson (10-12 and 1-3pm)

lesson, ticket, and rental $84.00

*Half day lesson only $49.00

*Full day lesson only $69.00

Chaperone lift ticket $44.00

Chaperone rental $24.00
