Interpretive Programs

Special 3 to 5-hour, age-specific programs are offered during the school year for grades K through 12. Each program is tailored to meet the schedule and needs of the group. Hands-on activities focus on ecological concepts. A visit is incomplete without outdoor exploration of Touch of Nature's beautiful natural setting. Nature Center Pond and Little Grassy Lake are available for aquatic exploration and study. There are also terrestrial treks and canoe courses through the great outdoors. There is at least one instructor present for every 10 to 15 students.
