Clearwater Nature Center provides a variety of teen-oriented nature programs and activities. We also provide seasonal volunteer opportunities to teens in need of service learning hours. Nominal fees may apply for some programs. Unless otherwise noted, advance registration is required for all teen programs and space is limited.
