Traveling Naturalists
In-School Programs
Invite an Imago educator to take your class on an outdoor exploration of the school’s campus. Each Traveling Naturalist visit is a hands-on, standards-aligned exploration that is informed by Imago’s 25 year history of taking young people outside.
The offerings below are just some of our program areas. When you contact us we’ll ask you about your grade, your interests, and the outdoor possibilities at your school. We’ll custom design a set of Traveling Naturalists explorations for your group!
Afterschool
Imago offers afterschool series at school sites on a limited basis. Contact us if you’re interested in learning more.
