Fieldtrips can be scheduled year-round. Each
season offers different lessons and experiences. If a guided
fieldtrip is not available, you are welcome to use Lake Katherine
for your own self-guided programs. Please call and let us
know you are coming.
Our naturalist-led programs are hands-on and
learner-centered. Each program lasts from 1 ½ to 2
hours. There is a minimum fee of $2 per student (minimum of
$30 per group) which allows us to maintain our educational
facilities. Remember to ask if a hayride can be included (weather
permitting) with your visit for only $1 extra per student.
Lake Katherine has no picnic facilities. A map to other picnic
areas in the vicinity is available upon request.
Please contact the nature center for a listing
of school programs at 708-361-1873.
Scout
Groups
Programs for scout groups are available. We encourage leaders
to call in advance with their badge requirements. Our naturalist
will work with the leader to accommodate their needs.
