Program Mission

Our program uses environmental education to connect the knowledge gained by students in traditional classrooms with engaging outdoor learning experiences. These experiences support cognitive development and foster scientific inquiry skills. Students are inspired by personal discoveries and in turn develop an understanding of the interconnections in nature. Our lessons align with Arizona State Standards and are facilitated by park rangers and volunteers who are dedicated to fostering an intrinsic sense of wonder in young learners.
