The JCC naturalists conduct school fieldtrips and educational programs for people of all ages and backgrounds, from pre-K to senior citizen and everyone in between! Program topics are diverse, with offerings covering dozens of natural science topics, outdoor recreation skills, and wild crafting/ethnobotany. We specialize in outdoor learning and typically conduct field trips and programs at one of JCC's 15 different conservation properties, most often at Kent Park or Cangleska Wakan.
