The Nature Center offers a variety of environmental education activities available to public and private schools, home schools, and other educational groups. Our activities primarily focus on marine and estuarine ecosystems as well as some broader environmental concepts such as food webs and adaptaion.

Educational activities are available to all age groups, including preschool and up. NRNC educators are fantastic at fine-tuning activities to match your specific subject needs.
