Inspired by ECO, our full-day ECO Homeschool program provides a meaningful and fun learning environment based in environmental education and a mentorship model.
The woods and fields of North Branch Nature Center become the classroom for ECO Homeschool students. Led by our talented Teacher-Naturalists, we learn by doing, using all five senses to engage with the landscape and with each other. Each ECO Homeschool session offers standards-based science lessons, and is filled with games, songs, stories, and activities – all designed to help develop a lasting relationship with the natural world, fostering a sense of place and stewardship.
