TNC TO GO After School
Enrichment
TNC to Go after school enrichment programs are one hour programs that runs for 4-15 week sessions (generally once a week) depending on your school’s scheduling needs.
These fun interactive after school science enrichment lessons introduce kids to concepts in biology, earth sciences, and natural history. Sessions may include time for your students to get up close and face-to-face with our live animal ambassadors. Each series of themed curriculum covers integrated science topics and reinforces learning through hands-on experiments, projects, movement and stories.
If a subject of interest to you does not appear below, please contact the Field Trip and TNC to Go Program Manager for more information. We can design programs to reinforce your curriculum.
