This is a special program, so it has a $2 upcharge for children. Due to limited space, registration is required. Dress in your pajamas (or favorite holiday attire) and enjoy a short Toddler Tuesday program with song, story and a lesson about arctic animals. There will also be free time play with snow, ice and trains because that is how we get to the north pole! You and your child can also make a Christmas ornament and enjoy some hot chocolate and cookies for this festive time of year!

Field trips to Oatland Island Wildlife Center offer an opportunity for students to get outside of the classroom and enjoy hands-on learning experiences designed to make stronger connections to the natural world and make life long memories.
Biodiversity
Biodiversity occurs on three levels: 1) Genetic Diversity, 2) Species Diversity, and 3) Ecosystem Diversity. Students will learn how diversity at these different levels impacts the other levels and how important biodiversity is to the existence of life on earth.
Program Length: 2 hours
Organism Classification
Taxonomy is the system of naming and organizing organisms into a hierarchy of ‘taxa’. With the use of bio-facts, and live organisms students can have the opportunity to learn and practice the science of Taxonomy. With the information gathered, students will construct a dichotomous key that will help them understand the concepts.
Program Length: 2 hours

Team Building
This program gives your students the experience of working together to accomplish a series of challenges during which they will discover a lot about themselves and others. The experience enables students to break out of their comfort zones and learn to work with each other strengths and weaknesses to succeed in their tasks.
Program Length: 2 hours
Digitarium
The Digitarium is our portable, computerized planetarium system. A room with a minimum clearance of 12’ is needed to use the system. Astronomy programs utilizing the Digitarium can be made to fit with the topic of your choice, or we have several programs that can be expanded to fit into the Middle School curriculum.
Note: This program comes to your location.
Program Length: Approximately 1 hour
Barrier Island Dynamics
Oatland teachers will explain the physical forces that act upon the sand to cause both erosion and accretion of the barrier islands. Also, how humans influence these coastal islands will be discussed along with long term impacts and climate patterns.
Note: This program meets on Tybee Island.
Program Length: Approximately 2 hours
Trails & Treasures (Map/Compass)
Students will learn how to use a compass and then how to apply that knowledge to finding their way on a map. Students will finalize their trip by working in teams to move through a compass course to find hidden “treasures”. This field trip can accommodate up to 30 students.
Program Length: 2 hours
