Outreach Programs

Bring our Museum to YOU! Outreach programs are available for schools, camps, community groups, and other educational organizations. Museum staff and volunteers engage participants in hands-on Earth Science activities and explorations. We provide the educator and all activity materials—hosts simply provide the space, tables, and classroom management.
