Where Education Meets Creation!
2025-2026 Registration Is Open!

The CranHill Outdoor Recreation Education Program (CORE) is an 8-month recreation-based alternative education initiative for homeschooled kids ages 6-16. CORE takes place once a month and seeks to partner with homeschool families in providing a high-quality, outdoor-driven education experience. CORE students will explore the outdoors, be physically active, build friendships, and learn through the course of each term. The CORE curriculum is built on a foundation of biblical truth brought to life through practical application. CORE is focused primarily on teaching and training students in recreation activities and will include educational learning each month.
