School Kids in the Park (SKIP) Field Trip Form

SKIP aims to encourage educators to utilize the Park as a living classroom by facilitating visits to the Park and working to remove barriers that may limit students' participation like transportation costs.

Following best practices in STEM education, SKIP is structured to offer interactive learning experiences that build cognitive development, critical thinking, math and science skills. The program aims to encourage empathy for plant and animal life and promote environmental stewardship and community engagement.
