Our Programs....

Our programs are fun, educational, interactive, age-appropriate, and customized for children and adults. We create and bring our programs to your school for in-class workshops, after-school programs, as well as pre-schools/daycares, scouts, 4-H, FFA, summer camps, youth groups, senior living centers, community and library events, corporate functions, festivals and any special outing.

Programs include presentations of live animals from around the world, the personal history of each and the wild facts about their species. We talk about the interdependences of world citizens and how we can each work to restore balance to planet Earth. Interactive materials include games, coloring pages, quizzes, worksheets, glossaries, and puzzles. We ask that the client make the appropriate copies.

We come to your location or you can come to us at the Main Street Armory in Rochester. Our location makes it easy for several scout troops, day cares or other such smaller groups to get together as a larger group and a cost cutting measure.
