We integrate the outdoor classroom with rigorous academic concepts, conservation-based themes, and connection with nature. Audubon Vermont's series of monthly outdoor nature-based programs focus on key science concepts. Each program is designed to give you a platform from which to build units/lessons in your homeschooling or to supplement your child's classroom learning at school.
We are continuing with a seasonal program schedule for Unschool's 2024-25 program year. Each season will offer hands-on learning opportunities families love, and give the opportunity for our teacher naturalists to build on learning each month to create a three-month series that is in tune with nature's calendar. The themes each month will be similar to, but not all the same as last year, and will be catered to student interests and seasons/weather.
Advanced registration is required
Please note the cancellation policy below.
