PODCAST

Camp Hain

The adventures of a Catholic family that homeschools, public schools, online schools, and has one super-obsessed with baseball kid. Currently I, Tia Hain, am a Classical Conversations Challenge A director, so a lot of this podcast/channel is related to that for now. I post a new podcast episode every Friday. But I also post other videos, including math (mostly algebra since I tutor) and our life on my YouTube channel, Camp Hain. We love our adventures, so come along for the ride.
