Friday Field Trips for Homeschoolers

PLEASE NOTE: Due to the current Massachusetts Travel Order, participants traveling to Massachusetts from states other than Vermont cannot attend a program without proof of a negative COVID-19 test taken no longer than 72 hours before your arrival in Massachusetts.
Come explore what nature has in store this winter at some of our most amazing wild places on the North Shore. Joppa Flats Education Coordinator Lisa Hutchings and her team will introduce families to local forests, beaches, and trails to make observations in nature, identify wildlife, and enjoy hands-on science activities outdoors. Sign up for one, some, or all!
Joppa Flats will provide all field gear and equipment. This is not a drop-off class; all children must be accompanied by at least one adult. All adults are expected to participate in the program.
