Homeschool Science redesigned by request!

Get ready for your learners ages 6 - 12 to dive deep into single topics - using the extensive resources and knowledge that the TNP can provide!

  • Each session is 1 pm - 4 pm with the learners separated into age groupings so activities can be best developed for skill levels.
  • Sessions will include indoor and outdoor activities, so come with proper clothes!
  • Register for only the sessions that meet your schedule and/or interest.
  • Group sizes are limited, so register early.
  • Pack a snack - engaged brains need extra energy!

Look for dates, topics and registration links December 5!
