Update: We have reached capacity for this program and will no longer accept registrations. We will offer another homeschool program in spring 2020. Thank you for your interest.

Learn about the geological history of Western New York with a hands-on science program at Penn Dixie! This special program for homeschoolers includes a complete educational tour of Penn Dixie led by our trained educators. All participants are welcome to take home all the fossils they find.

Registration is $6 per student. There is no charge for children aged two and under. Program is for grades 1-12; please specify your child’s grade when registering.

Check-in begins at 9:30 am. The program begins promptly at 10 am. Children must be accompanied by an adult. Younger siblings of students are welcome. One free adult/chaperone is included with every registered student. Siblings and additional adults are welcome at $6 per person.

Guests are encouraged to bring their own bucket or durable bag to store fossils.

Registration closes at 5 pm on 9/22. Register by 9/16 to receive $1 off admission.

Refund policy: In the event of light rain, the program will take place as scheduled. Guests are advised to wear boots and rain gear. If there is heavy rain or lightning, Fall Homeschool Day will take place on Thursday September 26. We will make this announcement via email and over our social media.
