Burris Park

Thank You! Your rating has been saved.

Burris Park is a place where students can demonstrate math and science concepts learned throughout the year. We have continued to update curriculum for 4th and 5th and have developed new curriculum for 6th grade.

Lisa Villa, the wildlife biologist, is available to customize lessons for your group. A typical day begins at approximately 9 and ends at approximately 2, customizable for your needs. The focus has been on 4th 5th and now 6th grades, but we also have activities for other grades, in addition to specialized programs for preschool students and after school programs.

Burris Park Outdoor Education is a collaborative effort of KCOE, the Burris Park Foundation and the County of Kings. During the 2012-13 school year, schools will have an opportunity to experience standards-based outdoor education activities in this beautiful setting in the northeastern portion of Kings County. There are different lessons for different seasons; this means that having outdoor education during both fall and spring highlights the way weather affects the park and its wildlife. Also located on the grounds of the park is the Kings County Museum. The museum has Native American artifacts, as well as many objects illustrating the history of the area.

After serving 515 students in the fall and being on hiatus for Winter, Burris Park will open again on March 15th for outdoor education lessons!

The Spring Calendar is filling fast! We currently have over 1500 students registered to participate in the Burris Park Outdoor Education Program for the Spring session!

To make arrangements, or for any questions, please contact Lavena Najera at lnajera@kingscoe.org or 559.589.2667.
