Scout Programs

 
If you have a group of Girl Scouts or Boy Scouts, the Sanctuary offers personally designed programs for your scout troop. We are more than willing to work with you to arrange a program to meet your interests and needs!

We do not enroll scouts in our general public programs, unless it is noted in the description. Separate scout programs are offered on a limited basis, so make your reservations BEFORE advertising the program to your group.

  2. A staff naturalist will contact you regarding date availability
  3. Program content and details will be discussed at that time and/or during a planning session.
  4. A program contract will be mailed indicating the date and program choice
  5. The program will be confirmed once the contract is signed by the leader and returned
  • A typical program lasts about 2 hours, but groups may extend their visit with a self-led hike through the Sanctuary. Picnic tables are available.
