Science in the Park

This nature-based program was created as an extension to the classroom, reinforcing 2018’s Standards of Learning (SOL’s) through hands-on learning for your young scientists.

Our Science in the Park instructors lead fun, engaging programs for grades K-6 that emphasize core science concepts and vocabulary.

Please join us as we use our forests, lakes, streams, and fields to enrich what’s being taught in the classroom. We look forward to seeing you in one of our parks soon!
