Fountain Creek Nature Center staff strive to offer innovative public programs for all ages and interests year-round! Each season we offer various programs to get you in-touch with nature, from new and unique to old seasonal favorites. Check back each season to see if there’s something you, your child, or whole family will like! Please click the title of each program to learn more about what to expect, see how many spots are available, and read any unique registration instructions.

Prepaid registration is required for all programs. Unless otherwise specified, none of these programs are drop-off; an adult must register and attend the program with each group.
To avoid problems with your registration, please register everyone in your party at the same time. To register family members or friends, please add them to your account as an “Additional Family Member”.
If you have questions about a program or have problems registering online, you may call Fountain Creek Nature Center at 719-520-6745. Registration will close 2 hours from the start of the program.
There will be no refunds for cancellations or failure to attend. Refunds will be offered if the Nature Center cancels the program.

Learn about hawks, owls, eagles, falcons, and vultures through a live birds of prey program with Nature & Wildlife Discovery Center! The presentation includes two different birds of prey and a discussion of adaptations, predator/prey relationships, natural history, and personal stories of the birds presented. You’ll also hear about the work the Center does to rehabilitate sick, injured, and orphaned birds of prey.
