The Center is excited to announce a new education opportunity for local homeschool students! The Inland Bays Homeschool Series provides dynamic outdoor learning experiences for students ages 6-12 years old, designed to inspire curiosity, creativity, and a love for nature.
The homeschool series is divided into three seasons – spring, fall & winter. Each season will have a different theme and will include three unique programs that build on the season’s topic.
Every program will combine classroom learning, outdoor exploration, and suggested at-home reading/activities to reinforce each session’s theme. Students do not need to attend every session in each season, though it is recommended. Pre-registration is required.
A parent or guardian will be required to remain on-site for the duration of the program. Parents may have a guardian present in their place, but will be required to indicate such information prior to the program.
