At Home with Nature

Registration for 2024-25 opens Aug 15, 2024

At Home with Nature is a program designed to supplement science and history homeschool education through fun, interactive, hands-on activities. Each series consists of three programs, all held outdoors. Students ages 5-12 will be divided into groups based on their age. Each session is limited to 45 students, with students divided into three groups.

Each series is $20 per student and $18 for each additional sibling. (CNC members: $16 per student, $14.40 for each additional sibling.)

Sessions must be registered for as a package, and missed classes cannot be made up or refunded. Individual classes will be cancelled due to weather or program restrictions at CNC’s discretion. Classes cancelled by CNC will be refunded. 

Registration is required at least one week before the start of the series. A complete health form must be on file. Students should dress for the weather as all programs will be outdoors when possible.
