Programs for 4th Grade Students

The Cooper Center for Environmental Learning’s Full Day & Overnight Experiences are student-centered experiences for learning about and enjoying the wonders of the Sonoran Desert. Our programs are a mix of Cooper staff-led experiences and optional programming led by class teachers and parent volunteers.  Find the right program for your class - and keep in mind that our most memorable experiences are our Camp Cooper overnights.

For our 4th grade students, we offer two curriculum options in our full-day or overnight durations shown below. We also offer our unique 3-day, 2-night Earthkeepers experience.  Select a program below to learn more.
