Our family homeschool series are 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. 

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.

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.
