Do you love science and nature? Do you want to see what the Hitchcock Homeschool program is all about? Sign up for our Discovery Days, our one-time programs about science and nature. In a mixed-age setting, we explore cool topics at the Hitchcock Center, meet science experts, and sometimes go on field trips. Our Discovery Day programs are appropriate for everyone from first-time to veteran homeschoolers, and we welcome almost-6 year olds who are interested in joining our class in the fall. All programs begin and end at the Hitchcock Center, even on field trip days. This is designed as a drop-off program, although the occasional parents and younger siblings stay as long as disruptions are kept to a minimum. Online registration opens December 10, 2015.

Mountains and Valleys*
Where do mountains come from? On today’s expedition, we’ll visit Mt Holyoke at Skinner State Park and find out how it got there! Through game, song, and exploration we’ll become rock cycle experts and unearth the history of the Pioneer Valley.
