"Connections"
is the theme of the park's environmental education program. The
program is designed to enhance learning in many curriculum areas
and to illustrate the connections between the mixed grass prairie,
the ponderosa pine forest, Wind Cave, and the plants and animals
that live in the park, as well as the connections between each of
us and other organisms on our planet.
We offer the
Connections program in May. After the teachers make reservations
for the program, they will receive an information packet. The packet
includes a description of the grade specific concept, curriculum
goals and objectives, pre-visit classroom activities to introduce
the concept, a vocabulary list, park background information, and
post-visit activities to reinforce the ideas presented at the park.
