Family & Intergenerational
Learning Weekend
October 20-23, 2011
Make the most of school break!
Bring the whole family to North House for our
first Family & Intergenerational Learning Weekend. In
celebration of the joy of learning together, we are offering
a variety of classic North House coursework designed
especially for families.
You’ll find everything from felting to mosaics, birding to
baskets, dancing to knitting. Schedules are designed to
allow families time to enjoy all the North Shore has to
offer over the weekend, with a variety of one day and half
day options. All courses feature an intergenerational
tuition rate, in which the adult pays full price, and each
child pays 75% of the full tuition. Ages vary for each
course; see descriptions for specific ages.
It's an inspiring opportunity for families to learn
together. Plans also include an evening film screening,
wood-fired pizza potluck and family and contra dance with
string band Over the Waterfall in the evenings.
Weekend Highlights
* 15 courses ranging from mittens to bread baking (see below)
* Family film
screening on Fri, October 21 at 7 pm (free)
* Community contra dance on Sat, October 22 at 7 pm
($5/person or $10/family
