Homeschoolers at Minnewaska: Forest Mysteries
Thursday, May 16, 2024 01:00 PM - 03:00 PM
Minnewaska is no stranger
to unique natural features. With its sparkling white cliffs, centuries-old,
dwarf, pitch pines and huge boulders that appear to have fallen from the sky,
you might wonder how the landscape came to be. Bring your homeschooled children
for a chance to explore these mysteries and more. Park educators will teach
concepts in the areas of geology, ecology, and natural history as we take a
hike to explore these curiosities. This program is recommended for children between the ages of seven to
twelve years old, accompanied by a parent or guardian over the age of 18.
Well-behaved younger siblings are always welcome, but please note that this
program will involve hiking. Meet at the Lake Minnewaska Visitor Center. Pre-registration
is required by calling the Lake Minnewaska Visitor Center at 845-255-0752.
