Meaningful Days for Kids, Breathing Room for Parents!

Homeschooling can feel isolating and overwhelming for families. Dickson Valley Learning Collective offers an engaging drop-off enrichment program for kids that fosters nature exploration and social connections so your child thrives outdoors while you enjoy a well-deserved break.

At Dickson Valley, we love partnering with homeschool co-ops! Our 150-acre camp provides an ideal, beautiful, faith filled setting where you can learn and grow together!

  • Indoor classrooms and meeting spaces

  • Wide-open outdoor areas for play and exploration, including:

    • Outdoor sports areas (sand volleyball, basketball)

    • 9-Square and Gaga Ball

    • Hiking trails along the Fox River (through sedge meadows and forest)

    • Obstacle course, rope bridge, and outdoor classroom with mud kitchen

    • Huge sports ield

    • Campfire rings
