The Homeschool Family Retreat is a great opportunity for home-schooling families to get away and be refreshed and encouraged, with many opportunities to network with other families, be challenged from the Bible, and enjoy the many fun activities that Silver Birch Ranch has to offer.
RETREAT SPEAKER: SARAH JANISSE BROWN
Meet Sarah Janisse Brown, a whirlwind of creativity and the heart behind the Fun-Schooling Movement! Sarah isn't just your average author; she's a homeschooling mom of 15, an educational trailblazer, and a friend to any parent seeking joy in their homeschool journey. Sarah is the creator of Dyslexia Games Therapy and the author and publisher of over 300 learning journals and fun-schooling workbooks through the Thinking Tree Publishing Company.
She and her husband of 26 years, Joshua Brown, currently live in Greenwood, Indiana where they are running a homeschooling resource center and large co-op on their 22-acre homestead. They have nine children who are still homeschooling, and six that have graduated and are making ripples in the world, having been raised to seek first the Kingdom of God.
Sarah will be speaking on having your homeschool experience be passion-filled and teaching you how to let your kids major in something as early as elementary. She will also discuss teenage entrepreneurship and equipping your children to be leaders in the workforce. There will be a Q&A time with her and her husband, so come with questions in mind
