Join us for our Homeschool nature program designed to enhance your current home studies by offering your children the time, space and freedom to let their innate curiosity for the natural world around them thrive! Research has proven (and we are listening!) that spending time outdoors in nature has a multitude of benefits, especially for children as they are continuing to grow. We are excited to invite you and your homeschool community to join us as we spend our time together in nature’s classroom exploring over 1,000 acres of beautiful, natural spaces here at Conner Prairie, often in spaces not open to the general public. Each date will be unique and special, and you won't want to miss a single one! We can't wait to welcome you to Curious By Nature!

Please Note:

  • Please read each class description carefully and note the recommended ages as a few classes are designed specifically with our older learners in mind.
  • Due to the nature of these programs the experience will not be easily accessible for strollers or wagons. We highly suggest if younger siblings need to attend with you, that baby backpacks/carriers are used instead.
  • Please always dress for the weather and outdoor play & exploration.
  • If your child has accessibility needs, please call our Guest Services department, and we will do our best to accommodate and provide the best experience for your child.
