Strawberry Plains Audubon Center is commited to providing a positive learning experience for all children. Our school and field trip programs are designed for the specific age group that is participating. While our programming is structured to meet the standards of the Mississippi and Tennessee Department of Education benchmarks and objectives, we offer designed curricula to accomodate your classe's topics and interests.

Admission for school groups is $5 per student. One teacher/chaperone per 10 students is admitted free. Additional teachers/chaperones are $5 each. You may pay for admission with cash, credit card or a school check made payable to Audubon Mississippi. One adult should pay for the entire group. Group size is limited to 40 students per program. If your group is larger than 40 students, plan to book two field trips, or give us a call to discuss options (662-252-1155).
