It follows the same seasonal nature curriculum as the younger groups but adds real conservation research: students tag monarch butterflies for Monarch Watch, contributing to its scientific data, and help raise Headstart turtle hatchlings for the US Fish and Wildlife Service. The three-hour Thursday morning sessions, held roughly every other week from September through April, build field-observation skills, critical thinking and a sense that their work matters for regional species conservation. The program is paid for as a full season; families should check the program page for current registration status, since the year began in September. ## Similar picks in Providence - [Homeschool at Oak Knoll: Young Explorers](https://grassyknees.com/providence/activities/homeschool-at-oak-knoll-young-explorers--listing-62ee279c438a244c97836b16) — Selected Wednesdays 9am–12pm, Sept 9, 2026–Apr 14, 2027 (16 classes) · Mass Audubon Oak Knoll Wildlife Sanctuary, Attleboro · From $525 · checked Oct 28.
