Summer Adventure Programs
|
Learning in Nature's Classroom The Nature Odyssey Summer Science Camp (grades 4-6) and Living Earth Adventure Program (grades 7-9) are unique opportunities for young people to become immersed in nature and learn with talented and enthusiastic environmental educators. With classrooms ranging from the riverbeds and canyons of the Rio Grande Valley to the headwaters of the Jemez River on the Valles Caldera National Preserve, these program are a wonderful way to explore the diverse ecosystems and cultures of Northern New Mexico. It is our goal that all students who participate in these programs will take an enthusiastic interest in the natural world.
Meeting time: Students meet at 8:30 a.m. at PEEC (3540 Orange Street in Los Alamos). Pick-up is at 4:30 p.m each afternoon. For children participating in the Rio Grande Valley program who live in or around Española, there will be a meeting location at the McCurdy School. View Summer 2010 brochure
