Adopt a Class Program
Call the Welty Environmental Center to provide a gift of environmental education for a child or teacher that benefits the whole class! Sponsor an in-class presentation from the Welty Environmental Center. The one hour program costs $60 for schools within 25 miles of the center, and $75 for schools that are further than 25 miles from the center. Topics can include anything from birds to frogs to geology. The topic and scheduling will be worked out with the person sponsoring the program and the classroom teacher. A minimum of two weeks notice is required for scheduling purposes. The student or teacher for whom the program is sponsored will be honored with a certificate at the time of the presentation.
Call 608-361-1377 or email info@weltycenter.org for more information, or to sponsor a program.

Scholarships Available
Do you know of a school or scout group that would like to have a hands-on environmental education experience, but is lacking the funds? Thanks to generous grants from the Kiwanis and Ecolab organizations the Welty Environmental Center is able to offer programs from reduced prices to free of charge.
Scout programs are offered for both Boy and Girl Scouts of America. These programs may happen either at your meeting site, or at an outdoor location, depending on the badge requested.
The Welty Wagon brings environmental education to your school or group. There are up to ten hands-on activity stations offered. The program generally runs 90 minutes to two hours. Volunteers from your site are required due to the amount of activities offered.
Scout programs start at $5 per scout (no cost for adult chaperones), and the Welty Wagon charge is $250. Please contact the Welty Environmental Center at info@weltycenter.org or 608-361-1377 for more information and a scholarship form.
Thank you again to Kiwanis and Ecolab for your generous donations!
