Programs for 5th 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.
