Programs
Join Adventure Eagles, a program designed for young citizen scientists, nature enthusiasts, and explorers in grades 4-6. This innovative initiative goes beyond traditional learning by empowering youth to deepen their understanding of the natural world and better understand their place in it. We will be exploring our connection to nature through hands-on survival skills. Together we will learn how nature provides us with the essentials of survival – food, water, shelter and fire. Each day we will learn a different skill. Respect for the natural world is emphasized as we learn. Are you prepared for your next exhilarating nature expedition?
