We are gearing up for our annual fall sessions of Science After School at Hemingway STEAM School and Bellevue Elementary School. Science After School is a FREE six-week program, open to 4th and 5th grade students, that involves students with the natural environment through outdoor adventures and explorations. Participants explore their local environment and engage in hands-on projects relating to natural science and sustainability. ERC staff and volunteers guide students in discovering environmental science through research, games, journaling, and service learning.

Participants will visit the many ecosystems within walking distance of school such as the Wood River Land Trust’s Howard Preserve, the Big Wood River, Slaughterhouse Canyon and more! Visiting these natural areas and the opportunities to explore the outdoors with peers are Science After School highlights each year.

When?

• Hemingway STEAM School, Tuesdays, October 9-November 13, 2:30-4:00PM.
• Bellevue Elementary School, Thursdays, October 11-November 15, 2:30-4:00PM.
