Hartley Nature Center serves a variety of school, youth and community groups all year long with a variety of seasonally and age appropriate classes, pre-K through college. Typically classes are one and a half hours in length for most groups, and include offerings about the environment, outdoor skills, teamwork and sustainable technologies. Many of these programs are portable and we can bring them to your site! We have a talented staff who will gladly work with your group to customize a program to fit your needs.
