Participants will also explore creative cooking ideas and simple, delicious recipes that highlight the unique flavours of these prized wild mushrooms. The class features a live cooking demonstration, and students will have the opportunity to sample a freshly prepared mushroom dish, bringing the full forest-to-table experience to life.

Want the full ballroom experience? Register for both workshops together and enjoy the best of both worlds. You will learn the basics—such as the waltz, rumba, foxtrot, and jive—while also strengthening your skills and adding new steps along the way. Instructors Mike and Michele Barter guide students through the fundamentals and then help them progress to additional dances, including the cha-cha and samba.

These workshops reinforce ballroom etiquette and the life skills that grow from practicing courtesy. Students and parents alike benefit from training in social graces, as well as the opportunity to spend time with other homeschooling families.

By registering for both events together, you secure your place in the full program and enjoy a seamless progression from introductory to more advanced dances. Generations of homeschoolers have learned with Mike and Michele—and now you can too.

This is not a drop-off program. Students must be accompanied by an adult to participate.

Open to non-WISDOM families; WISDOM families receive priority registration.

When: June 16 from 10 - 12pm

Climbing shoes will be provided for sessions. Participants can bring in comfortable clothes, and socks to wear in the climbing shoes.

A waiver from Vertically Inclined will be sent with the registration confirmation. Please fill out one for each climber and send them back!
