Homeschool Days

Bring your home school students to the Nueces Delta Preserve!

The Education Staff is hosting a Fall and a Spring semester home school experience for your 1st-3rd and 4th-6th graders. We host a separate opportunity for 7-12th graders. These home school Days will allow families an opportunity to connect science curriculum to the Coastal Bend using guided discovery. 

These programs will be adapted to meet the developmental needs of children at their specific 1st-12th grade learning levels. 

1st through 6th grade programs will run from 9:30am – 12:00pm.
7th through 12th grade programs will run from 9:30am – 1:30pm.

We are currently exploring what dates we will conduct our Home School days on, so keep checking back here or on our Facebook page for the latest updates.

Thank you!!!


 

**Space is limited to 15 students per group and is available on a first come first serve basis.
