School Programs - Homeschool Programs
Tanglewood’s homeschool programs provide valuable hands-on learning experiences for 5-14 year olds in a cooperative group setting.
Participants are given the opportunity to gain an in-depth understanding of topics such as forest, freshwater and intertidal ecology through hands-on learning. In these innovative programs our instructors weave together exploration, art, puppetry, music and games to create a truly engaging learning experience.
