Programs may be scheduled Tuesdays through Sundays. Weekend times may depend on instructor availability. Ask us about opportunities for Eagle or Gold Award projects.
Birthday Parties
Looking for a place to have a fun and memorable birthday for your child? Broadmoor offers birthday party programs for children ages four and up. Choose from a variety of themes, which we can customize to suit your child's interests. Parties can be scheduled year round, Tuesdays through Sundays. (Weekends times may depend on instructor availability).
Afterschool
Broadmoor offers afterschool programs for grades pre-K and up. You can pick from a group of theme-based nature programs or we can design a custom program for you. Programs may be scheduled Tuesdays through Fridays after school.
Young Adult/College Groups
Broadmoor offers a wide range of environmental-based programs both on and off-site. We can also design custom programs for your group!
Please contact the group programs coordinator for more information.
Homeschool Programs
Customized lessons or a series of lessons are available to interested home school groups. Programs will encourage children to interact with the environment through nature exploration, games and science-based learning. Group building activities to boost social interaction can be included. Portions of the program may take place inside our class room, however students should anticipate spending the majority of time outside on the wildlife sanctuary. Extension activities will be recommended after each lesson to help further participant learning and to share with their families.
Please contact the School Education Coordinator if you have a group that is interested! We're happy to explore options to meet your group's needs.
Preschool Programs
Broadmoor teacher naturalists are available to visit preschools, providing wonderful learning opportunities for your students. The programs are a mix of hands-on activities, experiments, songs, demonstrations, stories, and nature walks. Our programs are specially designed to strengthen listening and observation skills while teaching students about the natural world.
Contact the School Education Coordinator for more information.
