Field Trip Programs
More Than Just a Field Trip
We move students beyond their school desk into a hands-on and cooperative learning environment.
In our beautiful setting, children engage with the natural world and discover the joy of learning. We design our classes to meet the needs of visiting schools. All programs are age and grade appropriate.
