About
Oatland Island Wildlife Center has something for every age—starting with Toddler Tuesday, where our youngest learners explore nature through fun, hands-on activities and safe animal encounters. As students grow, they can experience our Georgia Standards of Excellence (GSE)-aligned field trips, serving more than 30,000 students each year and led by our team of six Naturalists and certified teachers. And the fun doesn’t end there—Oatland also offers week-long summer camps for students in rising Kindergarten through 5th grade. For teens, the adventure continues through the Oatland Wildlife Leader (OWL) Program, where high school students build leadership skills and give back through volunteer service and special projects.
At Oatland Island, our mission is to inspire curiosity and conservation while supporting meaningful science learning that connects to what students experience in the classroom—and extends far beyond it through real-world exploration, discovery, and hands-on outdoor education.
