We had 944 students from 2nd to 7th grade, from Sanford to Yarmouth, and many more towns. The programs varied from the self-guided Discovery Program to guided programs such as Exploring Estuaries and the new Microscopic Marvels. The Center for Wildlife led school programs at the Wells Reserve, also.
