Bring your students to the Nature Center and hold your classroom outdoors for the day! Students enjoy a hike through the nature preserve where they observe local plants and animals, encounter natural phenomena, and meet some of our resident animals. Give your students the opportunity to get outside to extend their senses and discover how amazing nature is!

  • Programs below are offered Monday through Friday. Start times are listed.
  • Programs are appropriate for grade levels listed. (None of our programs are appropriate for Preschool or Transitional Kindergarten classes.)
  • Programs are limited to one class per program, or up to a maximum of 35 students.
  • Most programs require 4 – 7 adult chaperones. Prices shown include up to 8 adults, including teachers/aides. Logistically, it is challenging if we have more than 8 adults. However, if you feel your group requires more chaperones, you can have up to a maximum of 10 (including teachers/aides). Add $10 per additional adult (over 8).
  • Because full attention is needed throughout the program, and because of liability issues, chaperones may not bring younger or older siblings on the field trips. Thanks for your understanding.

Fourth and fifth grade station activities explore food webs and consider human impact on watersheds.
