Add an extra dose of adventure to your alternative schooling by joining our Homeschool Adventures program! We explore a different topic each month in a group setting at Gilbert House Children’s Museum with the guidance of an instructor. Our weekly adventures will introduce your child to concepts in art, engineering, chemistry and physics.
Registration is separate for each month, providing the option for you to hand-select each topic you explore!

Set Your Child Up for Success...
Our Homeschool Adventures Program is designed for kids to work independently to create and learn to problem solve. We encourage parents to use this time to run an errand or take a walk in the park, so that their children can get the full benefit of their Gilbert House Homeschool Adventure.
Children of all abilities are encouraged to participate in our camps and classes. In order to ensure a fun and safe experience for your child, please inform us if your child has any allergies and/or special needs. Please email Julia Golden, Programs Coordinator, at programs@acgilbert.org if you would like to inquire further. Gilbert House Children’s Museum reserves the right to request 1:1 supervision for participants.
