About the Program: 

The overall mission of our program is to open the minds of our students with an interactive learning experience that brings them outdoors and connects them with the natural environment. We will use the interaction and involvement of the students to help make their learning impactful. We truly bring the FUN into each learning experience!

Each class has been carefully and intricately designed by our on-staff educator, Megan Ryan, who has her Master’s Degree in Education and a passion for pollinators! Our small class sizes, combined with two educators leading each class allows for every student to have an impactful learning experience.

Our Pollinator Education Experience- “Explore the Honeybee” – will offer each “Adventurer,” no matter what his or her age, a genuinely unique learning experience. Students will find themselves on their feet, active, and utterly immersed in learning without even knowing it! When movement and laughter are integrated into learning, the impact is great!

Ideas we will explore include:

  • The intricacies of the beehive
  • The role of pollinators in our ecosystem
  • How honey bees communicate
  • The anatomy of the honey bee
  • The importance of conservation minded thinking and living.

Sounds like heavy stuff, right? It sure is! But, that’s the power of learning! When able to explore and learn with hands-on activities and interactive segments, learning the “heavy stuff” is actually pretty cool! Through “exploration stations” all Adventurers will discover these aspects of the honey bee. There’s no sitting still or down time here- Adventurers will be up and moving! So much to learn and so little time!
