KNC Homeschool
Join the fun at the Kalamazoo Nature Center! Each Thursday, homeschool students can experience hands-on exploration and outdoor adventures. The 2-hour program is designed for ages 5-12. Students will begin each session together with an outdoor hike and will split into age groups for journaling and age specific lessons. Make new friends, learn about nature, and experience the beauty of our diverse ecosystems. Come dressed for all-weather. Parents are not required to stay on campus.
