About the Program
The homeschool program will take place on Tuesdays from January 6 – March 31, 2026, from 10am-2pm. Most Tuesdays, we will have informal group games for all abilities on skis in the field behind the building from about 11:00 or 11:30am until we break for lunch. In previous years, we had special days where we did music jams and horsedrawn sleigh rides. Stay tuned to this blog (and the NCH facebook group) for updates in case of inclement weather.
Families are welcome to come earlier and stay later. The VIC building is open from 9:00am-5:00pm, and indoor bathrooms are available to the public. Families are free to ski or snowshoe the trails at their own pace and use the building throughout the day. VIC trails are open dawn to dusk.
Homeschoolers are welcome to visit the displays inside the building, use the classroom, library reading room, and any educational tools and games.
