Welcome to Camp Funk

home school

Home schooling is a powerful

opportunity to trust God. It is a day by day call to trust not in our own
strength and wisdom, but to lean onto our Greatest Teacher, and
ask Him to gather and teach our young through our efforts.

Scared is
just the mask that fear wears to lure a mom into defeat—and defeat never comes
from God. Bravery, on the other hand, admits not only who you are, but also who
God is. Brave shifts the confidence to God and fully embraces His ability to do
it right. God chose you for this task, so don’t question His ability to choose
wisely. - Jamie Erickson

Homeschooling is a powerful means
of growing for me! It’s part of
the good work God has called
for me to do and grow through. He uses it to prune
and refine me as I learn
right alongside my children to apply the fruits of
the Spirit in my
interactions with my children. I continually have
to learn when I
stumble, believe, and get back up again
by his grace.

Here’s a cold, hard reality: sometimes homeschooling is not about your children at all.
Sometimes it is about you and what God seeks to do in your life.
He wants to
use everything about it, even your difficult child, to sand off your rugged
edges. It’s easy to assume that home is where your children learn to be more
patient, more kind, more mature, more righteous. But don’t forget, home is
where you learn to become more too. - Jamie Erickson
