Recreate your Upham Woods field trip this year!
Embark on a classic Ranger Mac and Upham Woods journey where you and your students will explore your own nature-hoods more closely. The Upham Woods team will work with you to translate your last field trip at Upham into an online experience featuring asynchronous and synchronous activities. This is a new opportunity to connect Upham and our resources to your curriculum more closely. Is there a particular unit you thought Upham Woods would always work well with? We can schedule your virtual field trip any time during the school year.
We hope that the work we put in together now will lead to a legacy of year-round programming together. Carpe pandemic and let’s create
