APEC offers a great opportunity for scout groups to achieve their badges and become exposed to environmental topics in a hands-on and personal manner. Interactions with live animals, guided nature walks, and activities support Scout requirements.
Badge Programs - These programs are geared towards helping the scouts fulfill a specific badge or achievement. Included in the program are relevant lessons, activities, and experiments to help scouts complete their badge requirements. For each program different animal ambassadors or nature walks are used as a resource to enrich the scouts’ connection to their badge.
What we offer:
- Badge Program (1.5 hours) - $160 (up to 15 participants) +$8 for each additional participant
GENERAL PROGRAMS - These programs provide opportunity for scouts groups to engage with nature and live animals up close. They can serve to supplement a badge or simply to celebrate the environment! Scout groups will meet some of our animal ambassadors during the first half of the program and then conclude their program with a hike through the park’s trails.
- General Program (1 hour) - $125 (up to 12 participants) +$8 for each additional participant
