VINS Homeschool Programs

We want to support you in your homeschooling efforts by inviting you to our regularly scheduled homeschool programs. Designed by our highly qualified Science Educators, these programs will enhance your homeschoolers’ learning experience this year.  

Your homeschoolers will be immersed in science and place-based education during our dynamic, fun-filled lessons!

Please Note:

  • Homeschool Days are 3 hours long. This will include time for lesson activities and games, lunch, the public raptor program, and a hike. The Homeschool Series consists of four 1.5 lessons on four separate days. You are welcome to remain on campus after the program to enjoy our trails, exhibits, and public programs.
  • Due to the age range, some activities will be directed at younger children while others will be directed at older children. Everyone is invited to participate in all activities.
  • One adult will be granted complimentary admission if they wish to accompany their child(ren).
  • Scholarships are available; please inquire at ehitchings@vinsweb.org.
  • Participants are required to wear masks while indoors, maintain social distance and wash hands prior to the start of the lesson. 
  • All materials are disinfected before and after each lesson.
  • Lessons are taught outside.

We are unable to refund any sessions that are missed due to travel, illness or other commitments. In the event that VINS has to cancel a lesson or lessons, families will receive a full refund for the value of those missed lesson(s).

"This was an exceptional science series. The instructor was always very willing to go above and beyond to answer all questions from students and parents. The instructor also provided further websites, books, and other instructional materials and resources whenever students or parents wanted to dive deeper into the topics. The instructor was excellent at providing a variety of hands-on grade-level activities during each lesson to create engagement and further intellectual thinking. I would highly recommend this program to any interested parent. "
