Homeschool Programs

While designed specifically for homeschool families, all families are welcome to participate, provided their children meet the recommended age guidelines.

Programs are designed to proceed rain or shine. However, some activities may be modified or moved indoors if needed.

Yes, Homeschool Days and STEM Studio programs are structured to accommodate families with children in different age groups, though activities are tailored to their recommended age ranges.

STEM Studio workshops focus on hands-on, project-based learning, with activities such as 3D printing, circuitry, and other creative STEM challenges.

Homeschool Days explore environmental science topics through hands-on investigations and family-friendly activities designed to engage young learners with nature.
