Spector Family Nature Studio
The Green Center offers outdoor spaces that enables students to learn about the natural world through inquiry-based programming. With the addition of our Spector Family Nature Studio, our outdoor programs are now ADA accessible to a variety of ability needs and levels—both indoors and outdoors! This assures the inclusion and learning needs of all visitors through seasonal, outdoor program experiences.
Our ADA compliant room includes an ADA restroom facility, movable walls that bring the outdoors in, ADA accessible garden beds, a gathering space for hands-on programming year-round and gives everyone-regardless of physical or cognitive challenges- access to nature through our outdoor programs.
We customize our programs to meet the specific needs of each group. If your group has specific needs or objectives, please let us know to help us design your special program!
