Local homeschool families can explore nature, gardening, and hands-on learning during the Fall 2026 Homeschool Program at the Cibolo Nature Center and Herff Farm. The 10-week program runs from September 2 through November 4, with classes held Wednesdays from 10 to 11:30 am.

Designed for homeschoolers ages 5–12, the program alternates between the Cibolo Nature Center and Herff Farm. This fall, students will explore vertebrates—including mammals, amphibians, reptiles, fish, and birds—at the Cibolo Nature Center while participating in a hands-on Gardening Club curriculum at Herff Farm.

The program is limited to 30 students. A parent or guardian must attend each class and is responsible for the student’s safety, participation, and adherence to Cibolo policies. Younger siblings ages 3–4 may participate for a $50 fee when an older sibling is enrolled; children ages 2 and under are free. Parents are responsible for supervising younger siblings.

Classes meet September 2, 9, 16, 23 and 30; October 7, 14, 21 and 28; and November 4, all from 10 to 11:30 am.

Cibolo Nature Center is located at 140 City Park Rd., Boerne, TX 78006. For questions, contact nature@cibolo.org or (830) 249-4616.
