For over 35 years, ACES has connected students of all ages with the natural world. ACES programs transform the local environment into a community classroom, providing relevant, engaging, and exciting program opportunities for learners and adventurers of all ages. ACES works to provide the highest quality experience for all participants wishing to participate in our programs. Programs include a range of topics that combine environmental science education with outdoor exploration. Participants form lasting friendships as they share in immersive and informative experiences in nature.

All of our adult offerings moving forward, require advance registration.

ACES Birding Program
