Homeschool Wednesdays
NEW for 2009-2010
This year we have expanded our educational offerings to include more Lake Metroparks’ programs.  These are held at Chapin Forest Reservation, Penitentiary Glen Reservation, the Environmental Learning Center, and, as in the past, Farmpark.  This year we have partnered with the Porter Program for Science and Mathematics at the Environmental Learning Center for additional hands-on science experiences.  Click here to learn more about their programs.  

We hope that you will take advantage of our new offerings.   They are all hands-on and meet Ohio’s Academic Content Standards in Science, Math and Social Studies.
