SCIENCE IN THE WILD EXPERIENCES

Here at Science in the Wild, we lead immersive expeditions around the world, teaching you about science and how to do science. Join us as we hike, climb, ski and paddle the wilds, exploring our natural world and how it is changing.

Read more about the kinds of citizen science and adventurous experiences that we offer below. These types of trips are best suited for ages 18 and up.

Are you a working professional, curious about other scientific fields? Interested in diving deeper than our educational experiences?
