The Wilderness Classroom presents the Rain Forest Project

Using lesson plans and activities correlated with Illinois state goals, and national standards you can easily integrate the adventure into your existing curriculum.

The Rain Forest Project is perfect for 3rd to 8th grade students and covers all major curriculum areas.

Students and teachers from our past 4 learning adventures are getting ready for this amazing adventure, and so should you.

"Each trip with Dave Freeman is a guarantee that my students will gain a greater knowledge and appreciation of nature and the world around them. His web site is one of the best educational sites I have discovered."

"I have never seen a program that keeps students so focused and excited about learning.....students can't wait to log on each week....your adventures are awesome!"
