Youth Education - Monday through Friday
|
|
|
|
|
|
An environmental education and arts-integrated science curriculum offered to school
districts sets The Green Center apart from other local cultural and science organizations.
|
|
|
|
The Green Center offers outdoor classrooms that enable students to learn about the
natural world through inquiry-based programming. Whether students are investigating
the prairie, forest or wetland, they will receive a hands-on experience that will
encourage them to observe and explore. In addition, Scouts can earn merit badges
through field experiences at The Green Center.
