Our outdoor skills, education and recreational safety programs provide opportunities for people of all ages and abilities to develop their outdoor skills and knowledge of Michigan's natural resources, and to promote safe, responsible and ethical use of the outdoors.
We also offer educators a wide range of opportunities to bring natural resources experience and knowledge to the classroom.
Our Nature Awaits offers a new opportunity for children to experience Michigan's outdoors. All fourth grade classrooms are eligible for a free field trip to select state parks to support their classroom learning through this program.
Guided by environmental literacy best practices, this state standards-aligned program aims to make sure Michigan’s kids learn that our state parks are for everyone, and that a lifetime of spending time outdoors is good for our physical and mental health.
