Homeschool Days

Bring the homeschool experience to The Wild Center and immerse yourself in STEAM-based nature learning like never before.

The Wild Center invites you to spend the day exploring exhibits, like Planet Adirondack and Climate Solutions, or walking among the trees at Wild Walk. This year we are offering private homeschool experiences, events, and activities catered specifically for you. Homeschool families are welcome to participate in private Wild Classroom Workshops, meet our animal ambassadors, and stop by the Naturalist Cabinet for science and art-based activities.

Free for members. Non-members: Adult (18+), $10; Youth (5-17), $5, children ages 4 and under are free

Upcoming Homeschool Days: October 24, 2025, February 13, 2026 and March 27, 2026

October 24: Wild About Birds

Join us for a full day of feathered fun during our next Homeschool Day: Wild About Birds! Explore hands-on bird-themed activities, meet naturalists and animal ambassadors during live bird talks and walks, and enjoy interactive learning all around the campus — from the Tinkering Studio to Wild Walk. Naturalist and educator Rich Hanlon has helped craft the day's activities and will be joining us to lead some of them! Learn more about his work here. This Homeschool Day is in partnership with Wild Neighbors Nature Connection
