Programs for Beavers

Reptilia offers a variety of programs specifically geared toward beavers. These programs are based on different themes. All programs emphasize hands on experience with the animals.

Nature
An introduction to habitats, food chains, and interdependence of living things. Your colony will learn about the many ways animals interact with each other and their habitat to survive.

Animals

Beavers will explore the diverse and fascinating world of reptiles and amphibians. They will learn about the diet, growth, habitat, and behaviour of these wonderful creatures.

Seasons
Each season has characteristic weather patterns that affect reptiles and amphibians. We will discuss the many ways our animals cope with these changes and draw parallels to human activities.

Self Discovery
Beavers will learn about their own bodies and the way they function. We will teach your colony about themselves by comparing their bodies to our animals.

Communication
Your colony will learn that all animals, including humans, use all their senses for communication. We will discuss the different types of communication used by reptiles and amphibians to provide the boys with a better understanding of communication systems.
