We turn schools into families...

 

Field trips bring classes closer to nature, bring students and teachers closer. Students arrive excited to learn in nature's living classroom. They find the world as it is, not as a page in a book. Together, students and teachers discover the excitement in the plants, animals and process in  the books left behind for the day.

...and families into schools

 

Families escape from the city in search of fun and relaxation. Students arrive eager to learn. Both experience nature walks, campfire programs and Junior  Ranger activities, all designed to explore the world's fundamental workings. ParksProject.org adds the joy of discovery, a look at the amazing process beneath nature's beauty.
