Plan a Field Trip
Cincinnati Nature Center's School Field Trip Programs can help your students strengthen their understanding and connection with the curriculum through hands-on, outdoor experiences. We offer a variety of programs to meet your school's needs and interests.
Registration is open for the 2024-2025 school year. As most dates have already been selected for next school year, please join the waitlist request form below to be notified of changes.
School Program Philosophy
Providing positive experiences in nature
Regardless of the lesson choice, our first priority is to make sure students feel comfortable and safe. Each day we hope to increase the comfort level students and adults have in natural settings.
Discovery first, discussion second
Students will be exposed to local ecosystems with hands-on activities and authentic materials. Their discoveries and questions will be tied back to lessons in school and the organisms that live in their local communities.
Small student-to-naturalist ratios
In order to provide hands-on experiences while protecting our local natural resources, small groups of 8-10 students per naturalist are key. This also allows us to follow student interests and provide personal attention.
