Advanced Project WILD workshops

Adv. Project WILD Workshops Header

Advanced Project WILD workshops are weekend programs that provide in-depth information on specific wildlife topics. Emphasis is placed on instructional strategies and materials that can be utilized both indoors and in the "the outdoor classroom." The "outdoor classroom" experience is where nature teaches not only with books and pencils but with smells and sound and visual close encounters with wildlife!

These workshops are designed to complement and reinforce the SC Department of Education Curriculum Standards and involve participants in inquiry based hands on science.
