VMNH offers engaging natural history programs for homeschool students.  Each program is held the 2nd Wednesday of each month from 10 to 11:15 a.m., unless otherwise noted.  This year, we've included enrichment programs from 3 to 4 p.m. to build upon programs and offer more in depth explorations.  Programs are divided into two age groups; 6-9 and 10-15.  A minimal fee of $5 is required.

*Pre-registration is required one week prior to each event by calling the museum at (276) 634-4185 or email at discover@vmnh.virginia.gov.  A program may be cancelled if the minimum number is not met.
