Hands On Nature

Connecting children to their natural world through 
educational hands-on experiences

Homeschool Classes

Homeschool Classes are offered as one-day or monthly programs for children ages 4-14.  Class sizes are small and range from 4-8 students, so that the interests of each individual student can be met. 

Class fees are as follows:
9:00 - noon         $15/student
9:30 - 2:00 pm   $20/student

Price reductions are given for three or more siblings.  Fees cover all materials, a snack, and insurance.  Students bring their own drinks, and lunches for the full day programs.

One of our most popular programs for homeschoolers are our Naturalist Walks.  This is an exciting program, offering new material each month, which varies with the current season.  Our homeschooling program also offers classes with in-depth study in other areas such as: 

  • Acorn Harvesting
  • Local Mammals of New England
  • Massachusetts Ferns
  • Wildlife Tracking
  • Stone Walls
  • Insect Diversity
  • Hawks and Owls
  • Leaf Litter Decomposers
  • Mushroom Walks
  • Nature Journaling
  • Vernal Pool Life Cycles
  • Reptiles and Amphibians

Many other topics are available for exploration, and each class will be tailored to the interests of the individual students.

What to bring:  Lunch and a drink.  And be sure to wear clothes and footwear that can get dirty and wet.
