Fishing in Florida is a tale as old as time. From fishing for sustenance and survival to enjoying it for sport and pleasure, people have been plying Florida’s waters for thousands of years in hopes of landing “the big one.” At Collier Museum at Government Center’s Summer Homeschool Day, learn the history of Florida fishing with hands-on activities for all ages. From the Calusa to modern commercial fishing, see how the trade has evolved in southwest Florida.
Three times a year, Collier County Museums hosts a day where homeschoolers of all ages will be able to come for free educational programming geared toward their specific age groups. We will have preschool, elementary, and middle/early high school appropriate activities based on that Homeschool Day’s theme. With a focus on combining history and STEM (we like to call it SHTEM!), Collier County Museums aims to provide your homeschooler with a holistic approach to learning about our region’s history. Homeschool Days cycle through our five museums, so your family has an opportunity to get to know all of them!
