Scout Programs

The programs offered at Stony Brook allow Girl and Boy Scouts to work together to gain an appreciation for the natural world. We offer different programs designed to help your Scouts meet their badge requirements. Self-guided hikes can also be arranged. Programs are offered after school or on weekends. Ask us about opportunities for Eagle or Gold Award projects.

Birthday Parties

Birthdays are "wild" at Stony Brook! Bring your friends and family for a fun, educational outdoor birthday celebration. Birthday parties are designed for children turning 4 and older, and are two hours in length. Our programs include age appropriate activities, in which children and a teacher naturalist explore the sanctuary through one of seven themes. Learn More

Preschool Programs

Invite a Stony Brook teacher/naturalist to bring a variety of nature topics to your class. Seasonal topics, taught September through May focus on what is happening outside in our own backyards. We incorporate creative dramatics, songs and games, manipulatives, puppets, and an occasional animal into the programs to engage your preschoolers.
