In order to take precautions against the COVID-19 pandemic, humane education programs at Helen Woodward Animal Center are closed until further notice. We understand the disappointment this may cause as many of these events have required lengthy planning from the participants, but we are committed to preserving the community’s health and safety. Please connect with us about either rescheduling your program to a later date if possible, or fully cancelling it and receiving either a refund or considering your current payment as a donation.

We recognize the importance of staying positive and educated during times like these, so check out our live Critter Cam and Virtual Field Trips! 

Spring Tails

Spring Tails is the perfect program for a class field trip, Scout outing or play group activity because it makes science egg-citing! Hop on over for a  60 or 90 minute adventure that includes HANDS-ON animal interactions, a STEAM activity, and lessons about life cycles, baby animals and other changes that occur during spring.

Give us a call at 858-756-4117 ext. 318 or email education@animalcenter.org to book your program!

FOR SCHOOLS

Spring Tails incorporates STEAM (the STEAM activity will focus on butterfly conservation) and meets Next Generation Science Standards for grades K-6.

We can also bring this program to your classroom, so cut down on bus costs and scheduling headaches and let us come to you!

FOR GIRL SCOUTS

This program can be customized to meet the “It’s your planet-love it!” journey requirements for Daisies.
