Ages 9-12, 1-3:30: Tuesday: ”Habitrekking” Observation, inquiry, and evidence gathering will combine for a fun filled afternoon of Habitrekking. This outdoor team activity teaches about habitats and wild life ecology. Student explorations will reveal that people and animals share similar basic needs and that the health and well being of us all depends on a sustainable and healthy environment. Wednesday: “Playing Lightly on the Earth” Wild animals play and live without causing long-term destruction to their home. Together we will think of daily things we people do that may impact wildlife and their habitats. Skits, play-acting, creative writing, & or drawings are used to encourage ideas for less harmful choices and small changes we can all make starting today! Each day’s theme is explored through outdoor activities, crafts, and games. In harsh weather we have fun in the barn & classroom.
