Ogden Nature Center

Give your students the wonderful opportunity to get outside the classroom walls this year and make connections with the natural world. The Ogden Nature Center's 152-acre preserve offers an accessible, diverse landscape where students can explore plants, animals, soil, water, seasons, orienteering and the natural and cultural history of our region.

Our Field Adventure Programs correlate to the Utah State Core Curriculum standards and are taught by professional teacher naturalists educated in conservation biology, botany, ornithology, child development, elementary education and/or natural sciences.

The Basics:

• Field Trip Adventures are for K-5th grade students.
• Programs last for two hours and may be scheduled for the morning or afternoon.
• Cost is $2.25 per student and free to teachers.
• Limited funding is in place for Ogden City and Weber School Districts.

If you're looking for programming for an individual student, whether adult or child, check out our calendar to see what our community education programs have to offer.

Reservations are required and classes fill up quickly, so please schedule early. To schedule a field trip, please call the education department at 801-621-7595 or fill out our Field Trip Request Form. You must submit a pre-visit survey as part of the registration process. After you have attended the program at the Ogden Nature Center, you will also receive post-visit Teacher Evaluation form. Your feedback helps us improve and adapt programs for the needs of those making use of the programs.

For teachers who have made reservations: Each field trip has accompanying pre-visit and post-visit curriculum and activities. Print out and use those activities that are appropriate for your grade level.
