DCP School Program
Possibilities
Darke County Parks would like to extend an invitation to teachers for
the 2015-2016 school year to get your students outside! When it
comes to providing quality curriculum based supplemental programming,
Darke County Parks’ nature programs are the best resource.
Teachers are encouraged to take advantage of what Darke County Parks
can offer. Whether it’s geology with an emphasis on the rock
cycle or stream studies with an emphasis on the water cycle, our park
naturalists can meet your needs. Additionally, all field trips
are now provided at no cost for all Darke County Schools. If
squeezing in a field trip is not an easy option, our naturalists can
bring a program into your classroom.
All of our programming meets the newly revised state science standards
and can be an excellent complement to classroom studies. Some of
the topics we are offer are life cycles, plants, habitats, geology,
natural resources, and more! Students do not just come to learn about
natural history. Several schools and grades travel to explore Darke
County’s rich cultural history through tours and demonstrations in the
Anthony Wayne Peace Council House and the Log House at Shawnee Prairie
Preserve. Students were taken back in time to live as a pioneer
child.
These are only a fraction of the programs the Darke County Parks staff
has to offer. We would also love to tailor a program to your
students’ specific needs. Please give the Nature Center a call at
(937) 548-0165 or visit the website at www.darkecountyparks.org for a
full list of upcoming events for autumn and more information on all of
the programs Darke County Parks provides!
