Beaver Creek Programs
Beaver Creek Programs
The Beaver Creek Programs mainly consist of three program areas. http://beavercreekprograms.blogspot.com/
A little more on the three areas that the Beaver Creek Programs mainly consists of --
First - CL'MASA-FAM'IA (Christian Living Ministries and Services and Fellowship and Missions International Association), this is the oldest part of Beaver Creek Programs and is made up of educational and community service programs. It started out as a newsletter between the United States and mission fields around the world. It then developed into more of an educational newsletter that later became a blog. Now more community and educational services are in the works. http://christianlivingclmasafamia.blogspot.com/
Second - The DEL-A-LAC Way Curriculum (Dezinski's Educational Lab and Learning Activity Center) with The Beaver Creek Books (additional books, of different genres, series to use with it). These were originally written to be used in my classroom, as I did not often have materials available. Also, much was written as part of my curriculum writing assignments while attending Grand Valley State University. In addition, much has been written to be used by the FHC Educational Group (Faith-Hope-Charity Educational Consultants, Curriculum Developers, Program Directors, and Leadership Trainers). I am spending most of my time now working on this curriculum so that we can use it in the camp programs that we are planning; also some of it will be available for sale to use as a fundraiser to help with repair and building of new buildings for this camp program described below. www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Beavercreeksprograms-The-Del-a-lac-Way-Curriculum
Third - Camp Dream or the Historical Wilderness Camp Program which includes amongst other programs a nature center and a historical farm. A lot is in the planning for this program. http://serenityacresblog.blogspot.com/
Our Beaver Creek Programs are mainly educational programs at this time. We have several educational sites that educators may use to find educational materials for their teaching.
· I have set up different facebook pages with these types of educational materials.

· Plus, I have several Pinterest boards with educational resources. www.pinterest.com/ndezinski/
· Furthermore, I tweet on and share tweets on educational topics. twitter.com/ndezinski
· In addition, we have our CL'MASA-FAM'IA educational blogs. http://christianlivingclmasafamia.blogspot.com/ (They are listed on this blog with a link to each one)
· I still would like to do more with my LinkedIn account, if and when I have time.
· We cannot get links to work for our facebook pages or groups, but you can go to www.facebook.com/naomileah.thompsonpogorelski, send her a friend request and she has links to our educational facebook pages and groups; click on about her and go to her likes for the pages listed above and go to her groups for the groups listed above. She is one of the executive directors of the FHC Educational Group, that I have been working with for many years. She has set up her facebook account to be for educational purposes with links to their group also.
Mostly when I have time at the present, it is taken with working on The DEL-A-LAC Way Curriculum and the Beaver Creek Books. Along with this, we have the Donellah Farm here at Serenity Acres to run (as we are getting up in age, now days, we do things a lot slower), I help care for my mother who has Alzheimer's (we were caring for our father also who had a stroke but he has passed away), and one of our big curriculum project that takes most of my spare time at present is the community history books that we are putting together. I do hope to be able to get more on the sites that I am responsible for, in a more timely matter. Lately, I have been having problems with one of my arms, that causes delays in getting things done. I don't mean to be making a lot of excuses, but explain that I will add to these sites when I can. But I do want to thank all that follow any of our sites. Some sites, I have lots of information already on them already and others (mainly the blogs), I still have a lot to upload.
