From forests and trees to frogs and salamander, and many topics in between, the curriculum of Tin Mountain's Homeschool Series is both broad and deep. Every week, students explore the fields, forests, and pond around the Nature Learning Center in Albany, using the outdoors as our classroom. Students experience natural sciences through hands-on, experiential learning activities. All classes are held predominantly outside except in cases of extreme weather. Students should dress accordingly.
Ages 6-9
$160/student for 8-week session (Sept 30-Nov 18)

Join ornithologist Charles Clarkson to explore the sources of the decline as well as how, in this rapidly-changing landscape, each one of us can play a role in conserving the world’s avian population.
