Celebrate Spring! Homeschool Family Field Trip Day
Wednesday, May 1 | 10 a.m. - 1 p.m.

Calling all homeschool families!

Join us at GCV&M on Wednesday, May 1, for our new Celebrate Spring! Homeschool Family Field Trip Day! Taking place in and around our newly renovated Nature Center, homeschool families will participate in a guided program, led by our naturalists to enjoy a variety of activities, crafts, and games celebrating Spring!

Homeschoolers will have the opportunity to experience:

• Pond dipping: dip a net into our educational ponds to see what springtime bugs and animals you discover! Use our magnified observation bins and identification books to see how many different species you can find!
• Guided hike: participate in a 1.5 mile hike through the woods surrounding our Nature Center! Understand the importance of a vernal pond, learn all about salamanders, and visit our educational beehive.
• Fun & Games: enjoy a variety of games to better understand the life of a salamander and the evolutionary adaptations of frogs
• Live Animals: meet our resident turtles!
• Hands-on Crafting: get crafty with a variety of recycled materials and learn ways we can continue to be kind to our earth. 

We encourage families to bring bagged lunches and a picnic blanket to enjoy after the program! Please note: the majority of GCV&M will be closed on this day, so you will only have access to our Nature Center where the program is taking place.
