Attention Educators!
Located throughout San Diego County, the Discovery Program immerses students and teachers in nature related activities to learn first-hand about the science and history of the environment.
The Discovery Program is currently offered at Louis Stelzer County Park and Lindo Lake County Park in Lakeside, as well as at Dos Picos County Park in Ramona.
The program has assisted thousands of educators and their students explore the wealth of nature in their own backyards. Each Discovery Kit is customized to fit the special characteristics of the park. Each hands-on course includes:
- Pre-field trip activities for classroom use
- Hands-on field trip activities in the park
- And post-field trip activities for classroom and home use.
All curriculum is correlated with the California Science Framework standards and includes information on the Multiple Species Conservation Program (MSCP).
