The
Audubon
Center is a Residential Environmental Learning Center
centrally located only
about 90 miles from Duluth, Brainerd, St. Cloud, St. Paul,
and Minneapolis.
Far enough away, yet close enough to save money and time on
travel!
The Audubon
Center is a proud sponsor of several Minnesota Charter
Schools.
We sponsor charter schools who support and share our mission:
"To
protect, improve and promote the enjoyment of the natural
environment through formal and informal education programs
and research; to assist and encourage environmental
education programs,
centers, and careers." |

The Minnesota
Science Teachers Education Project (MnSTEP) will present 10 FREE summer
science institutes throughout the state for elementary and secondary
teachers of science! Meals, stipend, teaching resources, graduate
credits from Hamline University, and free MnSTA membership are included.
