Educational Days

What is an Educational Day?

A Educational Day is a personalized day that is created around the learning goals you have in mind for your group. These days are custom and can involve many exciting learning opportunities that you might not get in an already set programming option. It is so specialized that we even make you your own personalized flier to pass out to your group!

What types of groups book an Educational Day?

SO many groups are looking for something different that will meet the learning needs of their participants. We can do Educational Days for camps, day cares, schools, Scouts, churches, and even adult social groups. If you are looking for something special for the ones you lead, we have what you need.

What types of learning goals can you create a day around?

With so many learning tools and specialized programming, we can create fun learning on just about every topic. We love geology, paleontology, zoology, astronomy, ecology, chemistry, biology, physics, and more!

Is the zip-line included in this day?

Yes and no! Yes, we can include it in your plan for the day, however, due to rising insurance costs, the zip-line is now an ADD-ON only. For an added price per eligible participant, we can add this to your mid-day break (lunch/recess) time. If you choose to add this on to your day, all participants will need a liability release form signed by a parent or a legal guardian. CHILDREN WHO DO NOT HAVE A SIGNED RELEASE FORM WILL NOT
BE ELIGIBLE TO RIDE THE ZIP-LINE.  Click here to download and print the form. All rider's must be 48 inches or taller to participate.
