Event Type

Aquatic and Semi-Aquatic Life Cycles (6-10 age group)

Join us for our brand new drop-off program specifically for homeschool students. Specifically designed to integrate math and language skills into a nature-based science lesson, each session will have a unique focus. This spring, students aged 6-10 will be learning all about life cycles. We will explore the pond to search for frogs, insects, and other life forms in every life stage, and use graphs to document our findings. Join us for a hopping good time!
Be sure to dress for the weather, wear shoes/boots that can get wet and clothes that can get dirty. Masks are required.
Please note: This is a drop-off program. Parents do not need to attend. Children who are not registered for the program may not be brought to class, including all siblings.

All children must be pre-registered for the program. A waiver and behavior expectations sheet must be signed and turned in upon drop-off. Only children that match the age group will be permitted to attend the program.

Program Format

Our homeschool program  meets three times per year, in the Fall, Winter, and Spring. All programs take place from 10:00am-12:00pm on the day they are scheduled.

Program Fee

$10 per student
