School Programs
Here, there’s something for everyone to explore, learn, create, and discover. During your visit or virtual program, students practice science as they explore the incredible ecosystems and animals of the Adirondacks across our indoor and outdoor campus. The Wild Center blends natural history, science, technology, and art into a unique experience that builds upon classroom learning and lifelong memories. The resources and information below can help you to make the most out of experience, whether you select a Virtual Field Trip or choose to dive more deeply into science by scheduling one of our on-site Wild Classroom Workshops, followed by a Self-Guided Experience. The Wild Center’s School Programs are experiential, student-driven, and designed to support New York State Educational Standards while engaging students in hands-on, interactive learning experiences.
