The Wolf Conservation Center's (WCC) offsite programs give your audience the chance to learn directly from Wolf Experts about the wonder of wolves, their ecological importance, and ways to support wolves around the world. Please check out the program theme descriptions below, and the Next Generation Science Standards, and New York State Science Learning Standards they align with. Contact us to learn how we are able to support your science standard requirements!
We offer programs for all age ranges and abilities. If you have a specific need for your group, please do not hesitate to reach out to us to discuss your specific needs. Programs meet both Next Generation Science Standards, and New York State Science Learning Standards.
If your class would like to write letters to the WCC following their program, please visit our Letters to Educators page.
Cost/Technology Requirement
$350.00/ 45 minute program, including Q&A.
We can offer up to 3 consecutive programs per day.
Programs require access to a presentation screen. Please note in your request if WCC needs to provide a computer and HDMI cord to connect, or if they can bring a USB drive to connect on one of your devices. If technology access is restrictive, please reach out to us as we can adapt to a technology free program, without wolf photos, videos, maps. Please note this will limit the content and the meeting of some standards.
