Educational Programs
Delivered on-site or in your classroom
To Promote an appreciation, sensitivity and respect for wildlife
On-Site Programs
On-site tours and activities are offered all year round on a "first come, first serve" basis.
Our two classrooms will hold up to 60 students. There is a broad selection of topics to choose from, each tailored to complement curriculum requirements of elementary, middle and high school grades. We will try to adapt and accommodate your specific educational requirements. Each program takes about 3 hours to complete, including a short lunch break in the classroom. Shorter 1 to 2 hour guided sessions are also available at the same cost.
COST - A fee of $2.00 per person including teachers and chaperones, will be charged to help offset associated costs.

Outreach Delivered in Your Classroom
Outreach programs delivered in your classroom offer quality education packages, from September to April, delivered by our trained instructors anywhere in Nova Scotia.
All the programs offered fulfill curriculum requirements for Science, Technology, Society, and the Environment (STSE). The students will learn through creativity using: drawing, model construction, experimentation, and action group encounters. The Department of Natural Resources has wildlife artifacts that will be used to transform your classroom and to increase visual learning.
The Outreach option will eliminate the cost of hiring a bus to take your class on a field trip. Our learning sessions are almost like bringing the wild to you. We have made the sensible decision not to stress live animals by bringing them to your classroom.
COST: We offer ½ day programming (2 hr) at $150 or full day programming (4 hr) at $200. Our activities are restricted to single class size groups. There is a possibility of 1 class having the program for 2 hr and then another class having the same program for the last 2 hr at a shared cost of $200 per full day (4 hr).
