About This Program

Students discover how our actions affect the surrounding environment.

Through guided hikes and hands on activities, students in grades 4-9 discover how different activities affect the surrounding environment while meeting grade specific curricular connections. Students conduct experiments to study the impacts of different recreational activities and develop mitigation strategies for preserving plants, wildlife, water and soil. They also participate in an activity designed to highlight different perspectives on the same issue.

What to Expect

Programs at the Weaselhead are entirely outdoors, there is no indoor facility. There are no bathrooms once classes are in the park. Students should be prepared for a full day outside with weather and site appropriate clothing including close toed shoes, layers and sunscreen. They should bring lots of water and snacks for a day spent hiking!
