Homeschool Class: Survival Skills

Experience Lockhart State Park as an outdoor classroom in this program for school-age kids! Registration required.

Lockhart State Park’s homeschool program is a set of outdoor classes for homeschool kiddos grades 1-5 (ages 6-12). Classes are usually held on the first full week of the month (September through April), and you can choose between Tuesday at 10am, Wednesday at 10am, Wednesday at 2pm, or Thursday at 10am. We cover a different topic every month, so don’t miss out! 

March’s topic is survival skills! Learn how to build a shelter, identify edible plants, locate and purify water, and navigate without a compass!

Registration: Program is limited to 25 participants, so registration is required. Registration is online only. Please click here to register! Please register only if you’re sure your student can attend, and if your plans change, please email lauren.hartwick@tpwd.texas.gov or call 512-398-3479 to cancel so that another child can have that spot.

Prepare:  We will be embarking on a 3/4-mile hike during this class, so prepare accordingly. Dress for being active outside (layers and sturdy shoes recommended) and bring water. 

Meet: Meet your guide at the Creekview Trailhead. If driving from park headquarters, take your first left-hand turn, pass the campgrounds, and park along the paved loop.

Fees: This class is free with paid entry to the park. Regular park entrance fees are $3 per adult (kids 12 & under are always free) or free with your Texas State Park Pass.
