High Quality Instruction

Our workshops offer a unique opportunity to explore focused topics in natural history under the guidance of noted authorities. The workshops present college-level instruction and are designed to accommodate participants with a broad range of experience. The only prerequisite for any of the workshops is a keen interest in the topic. Enrollment varies by the topic, but is generally limited to 20, providing an informal atmosphere and individualized instruction.

College Credit

Our workshops are not being offered for college credit at this time. However, all of our classes can be taken for continuing education credits. You may request a certificate that documents your completion of the course. There is no additional charge for continuing education credits.

The workshop fee does not include overnight accommodations. However tent space on the property is available at no charge. Participants wishing to stay overnight in our Farmhouse may reserve a bed in a shared space at a cost of $18 per night. Bed space is limited so be sure to reserve early. An optional catered lunch is included in the workshop fee.
