DeVries provides programs once a month to homeschool families with hands-on activities and in-depth lessons on our natural world.


Our theme for Spring 2026 is "All About Insects."

This session we will learn about insects from across the world, and those right here in our backyards! During the last class in May, we will release live butterflies at DNC! We will have outside time during each class, please dress for the weather! This is a drop-off style program.
