Turtle Educational Programs

Looking to learn more about Turtles?

Turtles Kingston is excited to be able to offer a variety of custom information sessions and activities to our community. These programs are perfect for community groups, clubs, businesses, and organizations wanting to learn more about turtles. From general information about Ontario turtles to customized sessions about where turtles fit into your industry and how to further protect them, we are happy to provide exceptional programming to meet your needs.

Choose from our Kids Programming (Turtle Trials) or Adult and Youth Programming

Kids Programming

Go on an adventure through a turtle's life cycle and all the trials they face! In this guided adventure, you will face a series of obstacles just like Ontario turtles! Plus, learn how to help turtles in this 60 min program perfect for all ages - especially Kindergarten to Grade 8.

Our Turtle Trials activity has been such as success that we are getting requests beyond what we can facilitate ourselves! In order to increase our ability to offer the Turtle Trials Program, we are thrilled to be partnering with blue marble learning scene, a local environmental education business.

Book your Turtle Trials Program NOW through blue marble! Only $60. Available for those within 1.5 hours of downtown Kingston, Ontario.
