Kaleidoscope is working with other local organizations to create a resource list geared towards homeschoolers. During the year we plan on expanding this list to include local family-friendly resources beyond those that focus on homeschooling. We hope that this list will offer families a clear idea of the wide variety of options available to them in the Keweenaw.
If you would like to suggest resources for our list, please submit them using this form.
