Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary's classroom is a gentle, pristine wilderness that dates back more than 500 years. Our boardwalk meanders through pine flatwoods, open prairie, and finally into the largest virgin Bald Cypress forest in North America.

Discovery Stations

Programs include field and classroom activities to allow students to explore scientific concepts through fun experimentation. Traveling libraries prepare students for their environmental adventure through reading and research. Second Grade trail stations focus on insect anatomy, habitats, behavior, and senses through the use of the scientific method. Fifth Grade students experiment while engaging in guided activities. Field stations include observation of skulls, skins, scat, tracks, and a live gator from our swamp theater. Student Field Journals thread classroom lessons, boardwalk experience, discovery stations, and personal reflection.
