Even though we love having kids down at the Nature Center, we realize that sometimes time and budgets don't allow it. We also recognize that teachers often would like to dig a little deeper into something that the class is studying. Therefore, we offer one-hour programs in the classroom. We offer unique curriculum, and also the classroom portions of our Children Discovering Nature Program. Although we offer these as classroom units, we can combine them with outside activities at your schools.
Below are links to registration documents, program descriptions, mileage information (for those of you outside of Durango), AND the current classroom day availability. Please follow the directions below to register, after a date has been solidified.
