Make Geography Come Alive!

Imagine a gym-floor sized map of North America... or Asia...or Africa coming to your school! These maps, created and designed by National Geographic, will be available for school-based programs for a limited time for several weeks each year (see dates below for 2011). The maps come with lots of hands-on (and "feet-on") activities and two of our naturalists to facilitate the program.

New for 2011-12: "Rent a Map": Work with a Giant Map on your own! You'll be able to dedicate much more time to exploring the Map with your students when it is delivered for a day ...or for the week. Use your messenger service to pick up or we can provide delivery service. Training is optional. Call for more details.
