Come and explore the amazing natural world of the Great Bay Estuary!  We invite you and your class to delve "hands-first" into an interactive experience that will broaden your students' understanding of the natural and cultural history of the region.  There is no charge for our school programs.

We offer both Fall Cultural History (September to October) and Spring Natural History (May to June) field trips led by trained volunteer educators and Center staff. While our programs target 3rd-5th grade students, we can also accommodate older and younger students. Up to 60 students with chaperones can attend each session, and sessions are two and a half hours to three long. Most activities are held outdoors at the Center rain or shine. Reservations are required several months in advance, and programs fill quickly.

Estuary Exploration programs incorporate science based concepts that meet New Hampshire K-12 Science Curriculum Frameworks in the following areas: Curriculum Standards 3a., 3b., 3c., 4c., 6a., and 6b.
