Pre-K Trip - Barnett Shoals

We are looking forward to our Experience UGA trips for the semester! 

Trip Description: Pre-K students learn about the natural world through their sense as they act out the life cycle of a tree, observe insects in nature, and engage in other exploratory activities. 

This trip has an additional orientation in order to volunteer.  To volunteer on any Pre-K trip, you must attend an orientation/training at the State Botanical Garden on Tuesday, September 11 from 9 am to 12 pm.  If you are unable to attend this orientation and would still like to volunteer, please contact Berkeley Boone at bwboone@uga.edu

This Experience UGA Pre-K video will provide you with a visual of where you will be going in the morning as well as activity descriptions.
