​APEC offers a great opportunity for scout groups to become exposed to environmental topics in a hands-on and personal manner. Our programs include interactions with live animals and guided nature walks.

General Program - These programs provide opportunity for scouts groups to engage with nature and live animals up close. They can serve to supplement a badge or simply to celebrate the environment! Scout groups will meet some of our animal ambassadors during the first half of the program and then conclude their program with a hike through the park’s trails.

General Program (75 minutes) - $160 (up to 12 participants) +$12 for each additional participant
Group size limited to 30 participants which include scout leaders, children, and parents
*Scout Programs are by registration only. To book your scout trip today, please email us at [email protected]
