Aprovecho has hosted many different types of small and large groups for private workshops designed around our core curriculum of appropriate technology, sustainable forestry, and organic agriculture. The workshops focus on engaging the groups through hands-on experience and in-field discussions. We have seen this approach be very effective with school aged kids.

If you are interested in setting up a workshop for your group, please contact us. We will work with you to devise a schedule and curriculum that best suits your groups needs. We can also provide on-site food and lodging at a reasonable cost.
