2009-2010 Opportunities for Grades
1-6
For links to the application
form, tuition information or who to contact, see the
blue menu on the left side.
Tuesdays 8:30 a.m. – 2:00 p.m.
The NorthPointe Christian Schools (NPCS) Home
School Partnership continues its series of
science-based outdoor education adventures from a
Christian creationist perspective at The Discovery
Nature Center at Camp Roger in Rockford, MI.
Throughout the year students will meet with the staff
of Camp Roger and experience various learning
adventures in God’s very first classroom – the great
outdoors! Students dress for the weather, bring their
own lunches and spend most of the day outdoors. Two
grade groups available are 1st-3rd and 4th -6th.
Note: this program repeats itself every two years-
so your child could attend two years expecting little
repetition in content
Class size: (combined total) 27 students minimum-
40 maximum.
