9/2/20 Update: Our typical homeschool program is currently suspended as we monitor and evaluate the changing needs and demand from our local communities. You can email our education coordinator, Maggie Cozens, for the latest information about opportunities for homeschool children.
Great Hollow offers drop-off programs intended just for homeschoolers. Students spend their days at Great Hollow exploring the natural world through science-based environmental education activities, games, hikes, and self-directed play. Each season is structured around a set of related themes that will be the jumping off point for our daily adventures, with plenty of opportunities for students to pursue their individual interests.
