Nature on the Go!
In efforts to expand our educational mission, we are happy to announce our Nature on the Go! programs. Inside of our traveling box of education is a world of wonder with live animals, preserved specimens, hands-on materials, and fun activities designed to engage, excite, and teach. Nature on the Go! programs can accommodate all age groups including adults, and are perfect for schools, libraries, scout groups, club meetings, etc. Programs last one hour, meet state science standards, and can be tailored to your group. For additional information, or if there is a subject you would like to see as a Nature on the Go! program, please contact Brad Sale.

 Winged Wonders
Raptors, song birds, wading birds, and waterfowl are just a few types of birds that call the park home. In this class, we will take a look at the many features these birds exhibit. From bills to legs to feathers, we will explore the different functions that make the world of birds so diverse. A small walk along the swamp boardwalk and several activities reinforce this newfound knowledge.

Happy Herpetologists
Using our live collection, we will take a look at the common reptiles and amphibians of the Old Santee Canal Park. This class provides students a unique, hands-on experience into the world of "creepy, crawly things." We will compare and contrast reptiles & amphibians, then discuss specific traits and characteristics of these animals that you may find in your own backyard!

Incredible Insects
There are more types of insects in the world than all other living things, combined! Take an exciting look into this mysterious world with live and preserved specimens. Watch as your students are transformed into one giant insect as they act out all the functions of the head, thorax, and abdomen. A special surprise is included with this class.

Home Sweet Biome
Travel around the world in one hour, as we visit deserts, freshwater lakes, arctic tundra, and the other major communities of the world, referred to as biomes. We will examine the land, plants, animals, and weather that characterize these important areas. We will also take a look at how humans are affecting these sensitive places.
