Have KNC's Outreach Program Visit Your School

Outreach programsWelcome to the 2011-2012 School Year!

This year is full of opportunities for the Kalamazoo Nature Center to visit your classroom. We provide quality environmental education programs based upon the Michigan State Benchmarks as a supplement to your curriculum. Our staff will conduct programs within your classroom or at a local park or habitat appropriate to your curriculum. 

The Outreach staff looks at the material to be presented and applies the best teaching methods for each program. This may include hands-on activities, audience participation, character portrayal, puppetry, storytelling, songs, drama, live animals, artifacts and other proven teaching methods.

I look forward to your phone call (
or click here to email me) so we may begin or continue your experience of connecting to nature from the Kalamazoo Nature Center!
