In School & AFTER School Programs
Contact emmaweir@treefrogtreks.com to inquire about after school programs!
Tree Frog Treks teaches fun interactive after school and in class science enrichment programs that introduce kids to concepts in biology, chemistry, physics, earth sciences and natural history. Our programs allow students to meet live reptiles and amphibians face-to-face. Wild Science is about holding live rescued reptiles and amphibians like Digger the Kenyan Sand Boa and Clark the Western Toad, examining amazing specimens like a musk ox skull or mixing up your own vat of slime. It’s about Getting Out and Getting Dirty in nature, climbing a tree, smelling a flower, or flipping over a log to see what’s living underneath it.
We explore science and practice critical thinking through hands-on experiments and outdoor adventures, and inspire a love of nature and learning through contact with live rescued reptiles and amphibians. By taking students out of the conventional classroom and bringing them into contact with the nature in their own back yard, Tree Frog Treks creates a lasting connection between students and the natural world, and seeks to engender a life-long passion for science and the outdoors. We encourage students to be empowered self-directed learners, to think like scientists and to share their discoveries with others.
Get your kids outside for science explorations, animal interactions, and fun with Tree Frog Treks!
