Best Field Trip

Science slithers to life for kids when they meet turtles, snakes, skinks and lizards. Run by a former science teacher, Tree Frog Treks helps kids explore the outdoors and fosters critical thinking through classes, science camps and even birthday parties in urban parks around the Bay. The outfit also offers adventure expeditions to Bodega Bay, Point Reyes and even Alaska’s ANWR—and scholarships are available for low-income kids.
