I treasure the memories of my time at North House this summer and look forward to spending more time there in the future. The experience was an antidote to life in the rat race!
Have enjoyed my North House experiences and hope my kids and or grandkids will also have the opportunity to take classes there.
The experiences of my wife and I have been that every class member leaves their ego at the door. Taking classes at North House is a real leveler. We are all there for one purpose: to learn from the instructor, each other and have fun.
The atmosphere and staff are so unbelievably nice. It is such a calming place to be. It's like having a warm blanket around you. I am planning on taking classes in the future. When I talk to people that are registered for a class, I tell them they will have a wonderful time and will never regret the experience or time and money they spend. The North House is such an asset to this community. Every time I drive by the school I love to see all the cars and am jealous I can't be taking some course.
I do wish I didn't live so far away as I would definitely like to be more involved with the whole North House experience. Your mission is important!
North House will always be a place to stop and check out what is going on any time I visit Grand Marais. It is an amazing asset to the community. I hope to participate in more class programs in the future. This year my workplace funded me to take the twig furniture and mushroom classes as a continuing education /professional enrichment option. I much preferred these hands-on learning opportunities to attending a conference! Thank you so much for offering such rewarding programming in a one-of-a-kind place.
I hope North House is around long after I am gone. Wonderful resource!
I am grateful for the North House experience. My daughter and I have always felt welcomed and have always been received as part of the family. She and I started attending North House when she was about 9 years old and she is 14 years old now. We have attended classes twice, and sometimes three times a year ever since. Even as a young person she has always been welcomed into the groups and treated very well by the staff. As a single parent that is greatly comforting and allows us to be a part of the North House community. The friends we have made over the years, in the birding classes, and other classes, including the staff, feel like family. We have learned a great deal about birds, the environment, etc. and we are inspired to be better stewards. The care North House staff takes to make sure students get what they need is evident, even down to the details of the class, and the evening events - especially the deserts..lol... We love the sense of community and encouragement that is felt and look forward to returning as often as possible.
This program is something truly special. I support everything North House does. I believe your mission is true and that you have the best staff who passionately and genuinely share a vision for the future. I felt very welcome from everyone while I was there. North House is a strong part of what makes Grand Marais such a close knit and progressive community. I plan on taking many classes in the future and forwarding my knowledge and excitement for the school to many others.
