Wisconsin Forestree
This is an interdisciplinary 2 or 3 day field experience for students in grades 6-8. Students will study forest management, wildlife habitat, forest diversity and Wisconsin logging history. Utilizing equipment used by professional foresters, the students have the opportunity to put their math and science skills to work amidst the forests of CWES!

Winter Ecology
Students work together as ecologists to study various microclimates, learning what factors make certain areas warmer or colder and how this relates to severity of winter, animal survival, and the predator/prey relationship. Students explore life under the surface of a frozen lake, learn how to construct shelters, snowshoe and build a fire to keep warm.

Changing of the Land
Fourth grade teachers, this program is designed specifically for you and your students! This 1-2 day field experience helps students understand how forestry helped shape Wisconsin's history. These lessons connect the forests of Wisconsin's past to the lives of students today. Students will come face to face with a lumberjack from the late 1800's , experience what life was like in a lumber camp, and take part in a lumberjack Olympics.

A La Carte
A La Carte programming allows you to create a field trip that meets your students' and school curriculum needs. Choose a theme such as Earth Explorers, Human Interactions, Adaptations, Water Resources or Outdoor Skill Development, and participate in hands-on activities.

Evening programs
Overnight groups take part in evening programming. Sing and dance along with staff around the campfire, learn about animals, or trek through our dark forests on a night hike. It's always loads of fun!
