This is totally interactive so we want you to join in. Make sure to follow us on social media and join the fun! Have something in mind you want to see? Send us a tweet or DM with your ideas!

Digital Drop-In – You may not be able to currently visit The Wild Center, but we’re still working hard to bring the educational experience into your home.

Each week we will be offering free, live educational distance learning programs on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 11am. For more information, email digitallearning@wildcenter.org.

This Friday at Pok-O-MacCready, we will be participating in Maple Sugaring!

The weather channel is calling for an 90% chance of rain on Friday, with a high of 51 and low of 33. The Maple Sugaring course will take place partially outdoors as well as indoors and we will continue if there is rain. Please dress accordingly.
From 1:00 to 3:00pm, we will be offering Rock Climbing at our indoor rock climbing facility, The Crux. The Crux is a fantastic challenge for any individual at any level. Students can choose to climb a wall or a specific route which may have additional challenges. $7 per climber, includes equipment.

Homeschool XC Skiers – March 4th is our last day of skiing at Mt Van Hoevenberg. Please arrive at 9:30am because there will be a big school group coming in at 10am. Also (only if you’re able), bring a treat to share to celebrate the ski season and thank our coaches! We’ll have a little party at lunchtime and then do improv after that.
We are so excited to have you all participate in our events held for the North Country Homeschooling group. Unfortunately, if we have fewer than 5 students sign up for an event, we will have to cancel the activities for that week.
Currently, we only have one student signed up for this weeks activities. If we do not have at least 4 more students sign up, we will cancel the Art In Nature & Rock Climbing activities we have planned for this Friday.
Parents who have/are signing up for the activities this week should keep an eye on their emails. I will send out emails to them if we have a cancellation.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
