Youth and Teen Programs

Learn, create, grow, and thrive at Thanksgiving Point’s youth and teen programs! Our courses provide students with the opportunity to develop and practice skills that interest them outside of the classroom. These courses will help prepare students for the future and help strengthen their social and cognitive muscles.

 

GrowTech Kids

For Homeschool & After School Kids

This spring, watch your child become a scientist at GrowTech Kids. Located at Curiosity Farms, our 3-month immersive farm and garden STEM program will help your child develop real-world skills using real-world science equipment. From designing their own hydroponic garden to experimenting with soil chemistry, you’ll watch your child learn the scientific and technological skills they’ll need to grow food and more. Perfect for kids ages 8-12 who are becoming curious about the wide world of STEM. GrowTech Kids is a weekly, three-hour program.
