2025-2026 Learning Group Locations
Learning Camps
Whether face to face or virtual, Learning Camps are short term group events that include single-day field trip experiences such as skiing, hiking, aquariums, science centres, and short-term weekly classes such as writing workshops, presentations, canoeing, woodworking, etc.
Community Connections +
Community Connections Plus (CC+) are face to face classes, typically meeting together in person for a full day each day over the course of 30 weeks. All students participate in meaningful hands-on activities in a class setting. HCOS teachers are wholly responsible for subject areas taught. Take-home information and homework are regularly assigned.
Community Connections
Community Connections (CC) are face to face learning events that are typically one-half to one full day per week, usually between 12 and 24 weeks. At CC students participate in meaningful and hands-on activities in a class setting with a home-education flavour led by certified teachers with some community or parent instructors. Please Note: CCs do not cover all outcomes for courses.
Extended Learning Camps
Extended Learning Camps (Ext. LC) are in-person learning experiences that run weekly over 8 to 16 weeks during the school year. These camps provide students with opportunities to engage in meaningful, hands-on learning within a supportive classroom community. Through collaborative activities, students deepen their understanding and develop valuable skills in a fun and engaging environment.
