Welcome to theCity of AuroraColorado

Aurora History Museum's 2-hour Homeschool program is aimed at elementary through middle grade students and their parents. Each month will have a new theme with several educational opportunities for students. Work with museum professionals and educators to expand on your homeschool curriculum.

Cost: $7 per student - includes one adult - adult must be present for program.

Only paid, ticketed students will be able to participate in activities and crafts. Please sign siblings up as "non-participating" after entering the number of students. These students will not be gold panning. If your student, regardless of age, wants their own gold pan, please register them. Otherwise they are welcome to "help" big sibling.
