Homeschool Discovery
Environmental Education Programs
Peace Valley Nature Center offers exciting outdoor adventures for children! Meandering streams, fields, thickets, woodlands, wetlands, and Lake Galena offer diverse habitats to enhance your child's experience and awaken their senses to the wonders of the natural world. Working with small groups of up to 15 students, our trained teacher naturalists will lead each 1 1/2 hour activity in our 750-acre outdoor classroom. These small groups enable a greater connection with not only the teacher naturalist but with their seasonal program focus and participation in activities. These programs are a great addition to your science curriculum.
Call Jenn Bilger at 267.880.5047 or email v-jlbilger@buckscounty.org to schedule a program for your homeschoolers or group.
