Outdoor Adventures is a one-day field trip designed to teach elementary kids about … empower them to experience … and inspire them to nurture … nature! Representatives of more than 40 organizations will be there to help kids explore concepts such as watersheds, wildlife habitat, invasive species and energy. Last year kids fished, got close to live birds of prey, hiked in the forest, and watched a working windmill among many other activities. Here are photos from the 2008, 2009 and 2010 events.
While the target audience is elementary students, middle- and high-school students can host displays or provide activities related to the natural sciences or natural heritage.
Outdoor Adventures is FREE to all participants! Sponsors underwrite most of the costs, but donations from schools and parents are welcome and greatly appreciated. Click here or on the Sponsors link to make a donation.
