Homeschool Series at Blandford

Hands-on, outdoor learning in our beautiful forests and meadows!

 

Homeschool field trips at Blandford immerse students in nature while engaging their curiosity and connection to the natural world. All of our programs are taught by our highly experienced and educated staff and are designed with modern science education standards in mind.

 

Programs are available for children ages 5-12, divided into small groups for age-appropriate content. We welcome up to five parent chaperones per group, especially for our youngest students who may need some extra assistance. Chaperones will be admitted on a first come, first served basis. Registration for chaperones is required, but there is no additional fee. For parents with multiple children who wish to chaperone, we strongly suggest registering with your youngest child, if space allows.

 

Each registration is sold as a package of three programs on the dates and times below. Please note that we have a minimum number of participants required for each age group. If we do not meet this minimum, that age group may be cancelled or merged with another age group.

 

Age Groups:

Acorns: 5-7

Sprouts: 8-9

Oaks: 10-12

 

Program Dates and Topics:

September 27 - Seeds & Plants

October 25 - Nature Games

November 15 - Whooo is an Owl?

 

All programs are scheduled from 1:00 - 2:30pm. Check-in takes place 10 minutes before the program starts in the Environmental Education Center on the main campus at 1715 Hillburn Ave NW, Grand Rapids, MI 49504.

 

Registration Information:

Registration is $30/student for Members and $36/student for Non-Members and includes all three programs for the dates listed. A complete health form must be submitted during registration.
