Homeschool Programs

Westwood Hills Nature Center has an exciting program for families who homeschool. We offer monthly classes throughout the year that will help your children learn and develop skills in natural science and outdoor recreation. The classes are designed for a variety of ages and learning styles.

In addition to the monthly programs, we also schedule programs for organized home school groups and co-ops. For more information on how to sign up for a program or a series of programs print out or view the Homeschool Planning Guide
