Welcome!
This handbook contains valuable information on our policies and procedures, as well as our focus and philosophy.
We aim to serve our families well with optimal class experiences and positive relationships. We all strive to be good stewards of the gift the Lord has given us in Adventurers. You can help us by familiarizing yourself with the policies within. Keep this handbook and your directory handy so you can refer to them throughout the year.
May the Lord Jesus bless us all this year as He shapes and molds us into the people that He wants us to be. May we seek His will and to glorify Him in everything we do.
In Him,

Mission Statement
Adventurers is an interdenominational, Christian, learning cooperative located in the Washtenaw County, Michigan area, designed to help meet the needs and challenges of homeschooling families with high school students by providing academic, enrichment, and social opportunities for their children, from high schoolers to babies. Many, but not all, of these opportunities are flexible, experience-intensive and/or student led. Registered families shape each year’s offerings through open communication and participation. We aim to unleash the God-given energy and unique genius of each participant through our class experiences, sponsored activities, and community service as we share and grow together.
