At Home with Nature

This program is designed to supplement homeschool elementary education through fun, interactive, hands-on activities. Each series consists of three programs, all held at the Visitor Center.

Students ages 5-12 will be divided into groups based on their age. Each session is limited to 30 students. Each series is $12 per student and $10 for each additional sibling. (CNC members receive a 20% discount)

Series must be registered for as a package, and missed sessions cannot be made up or refunded.
Pre-registration is required at least one week before the start of the series.
