Homeschool Class at Madison Heights Nature Ctr

Homeschool Class at the Madison Heights Nature Center

Here are the upcoming Homeschool Classes at the Madison Heights Nature Center.  For the Fall season, the classes are all on the third Thursday of the month from 10:00 A.M. until about 11:30 A.M.  These classes are geared for students aged 7-12, but check with Matt (the naturalist) about the ages – as long as they are able to participate.  Parental assistance is welcome.  Also, please dress children for the weather as Matt often plans nature walks as part of the lesson.  The classes cost $3.00 per child (resident of Madison Heights); $4.00 per child (non-resident.)  The code numbers after the class listings are for enrolling/paying online through the Madison Heights Parks & Recreation.  You can also call in the registration and pay at the door.  The staff does appreciate RSVP’s so they know how many to plan for.
