Homeschool Fridays is a series of environmental education programs developed especially for homeschoolers ages 4 to 12. These classes are a great way to get hands-on science and nature lessons and network with other homeschooling families. Each two-hour program will consist of indoor and outdoor hands-on learning

There is no charge for parents since they are expected to participate as mentors and teachers. Staff will provide guidance for parents on how to assist.

Siblings younger than 4 are welcome, but must be under the care of a parent/guardian at all times and should not distract the program participants.

Older and younger students will be grouped by age to allow for age-appropriate topic exploration (parents will stay with the younger group).

Please consider the safety, health, and well-being of all participants in our programs and stay home if the participant(s) are ill. Full refunds will be given for cancellations due to health concerns.

Please read our full policy statement and waiver.
