Wild Florida Adventure Program for Fifth Graders

Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary鈥檚 Fifth Grade Wild Florida Adventure Program provides students and teachers with an opportunity to learn about all things wild. Experienced educators and 探花精选 naturalists guide students through the pine upland forest and along the boardwalk, exploring the wet prairie, bald cypress forest, and the lettuce lakes, learning about wildlife along the way.

This engaging and interactive program is focused on birds, plants, reptiles, and mammals, and introduces students to Corkscrew's innovative natural wastewater treatment facility, the Living Machine.  All activities are linked to the Sunshine State鈥檚 fifth-grade curriculum standards.

Teachers are provided with an overview of the program and a field guide of activities for students to work on before, during, and after their trip to the Sanctuary.
