(1) hit the right price point -- $2100-2300
(2) don't count on most students enrolling in all three days -- just one, maybe two
(3) offer similar curriculum to different age groups -- an age 7-12 day, and an age 12-15 day
I can make this work if I
(1) Don't hire a co-instructor
(2) Don't buy a van
- Keep it focused, specialize, do what I do best
- Offer a solid day; kids should go home having learned a lot and feeling jazzed
- Parents should feel like they can check something off: writing and math are key
- What sounds compelling:
- Farm Economics
- Farm Ecology
- Applied Math
- Work experience
- (Farm History is cool, too)
- The day would be 9am-3pm, with optional 3-5pm aftercare where we would play games.
- Session would be 33 weeks, following the school calendar.
- Summer farm camps would be popular: day camps for younger kids (way less insurance), but older kids would need a residential camp...(Henning?)
