SUMMARY:Home School Day
DESCRIPTION:The Hattiesburg Zoo will welcome homeschool students and their 
 families for a special series of Homeschool Days\, held on the first Tuesd
 ay of each month from September through December. Designed to complement a
 t-home learning with hands-on educational experiences\, each program will 
 explore a different conservation topic while giving students the opportuni
 ty to learn throughout the Zoo.\n\nThe fall 2026 Homeschool Days schedule 
 includes:\nTuesday\, September 1 — Conservation of Water\nTuesday\, Octo
 ber 6 — Conservation of Land\nTuesday\, November 3 — Conservation of A
 ir\nTuesday\, December 1 — Zoo Behind the Scenes\n\nEach Homeschool Day 
 will take place from 9:00 to 10:30 a.m.\, with gates opening exclusively f
 or participating homeschool families at 8:30 a.m. The early admission give
 s students access to the Zoo one hour before it opens to the public and al
 lows the Zoo’s education team additional time to engage participants in 
 the morning’s activities.\n\nFour interactive activity stations will be 
 located throughout the Zoo\, with each station featuring a unique task rel
 ated to that month’s theme. Students can move through the stations at th
 eir own pace\, allowing families the flexibility to explore\, learn and pa
 rticipate together.\n\nAt 10:00 a.m.\, students\, parents and teachers wil

 burg Zoo and enjoy the exhibits and attractions at their leisure.\n\n“Ho
 meschool Days give us an opportunity to turn the entire Zoo into a classro
 om\,” said Jeremy Cumpton\, Director of Wildlife. “Students can learn 
 about important conservation topics through hands-on activities\, animal e
 ncounters and conversations with our education team. We want them to leave
  each program with new knowledge\, but also with greater curiosity about w
 ildlife and the natural world around them.”\nAdvanced reservations are r
