​​Field Trips 

​

As part of our 3-part lesson plan, we encourage on-site visits to the Gibbon Center.  The Center currently houses 40 gibbons.  On arrival you will receive a 30 min - 1hr+ tour of the Center, depending on the age and interest level of the group.  During the tour of the Center, students will get to see 5 species of gibbons, hear stories about the individuals and families housed at the Center, and of course watch the gibbons while they eat, play & sunbathe. Students will learn why it is so important to practice conservation by seeing animals that are currently impacted by deforestation.  At some unexpected moment, as they do every day, the gibbons will begin to sing their territorial call.  You can choose to have your group participate in an activity, if time permits.  We also allow lunch in our picnic area, provided you pick up the trash and are vigilant in keeping the area clean.
