Learning Outside The Box Inside The Cave

Experience an evening of educational ideas at Stark Caverns.

Educators and youth leaders, as you begin making your plans for the new school year,
Stark Caverns wants to support your efforts by inviting you to experience our
new education programs inside the cave. Join us on Tuesday, August 4 for an
evening of refreshments and preview our learning options for students and youth
groups.

In cooperation with the Museum at Prairiefire, an affiliate of the American Museum
of Natural History, Stark Caverns has developed an exciting new curriculum that
aligns with Missouri Learning Standards. Students will experience a series of
learning stations with lessons in Social Studies, Science, and English Language
Arts, designed with auditory, visual, and hands-on elements.

Stark Caverns also offers opportunities for youth organizations to earn merits
towards their individualized program goals. A few options include exploration,
historical research, event planning, and even camping in the cave.

Complimentary appetizers, wine, beer, and beverages will be served. Educators and youth
leaders are welcome to stop in anytime between 4:30 pm and 7:30 pm and are
encouraged to allow at least thirty minutes to enjoy the experience. Stark
Caverns appreciates the investment that you are making in our community, so
there is no cost to attend the event, although a valid school or organizational
membership ID is required at check-in.

An RSVP is requested to allow for planning. To do so, or to learn more about the
event, please visit www.StarkCaverns.com/LearningRocks by August 3.
