Our Teen Naturalist program will meet every other Friday from 4 pm - 6 pm. Our Teen Naturalists will also be encouraged to attend optional fieldtrips at local venues. You can view the calendar here.
The ECO Discoverer, Adventurer, Explorer, Navigator and Teen Naturalist programs are optional drop off. The ECO Pathfinder program will require a parent/caregiver to stay with their child(ren).
Locations:
Our ECO Pathfinders, Discoverers, Adventurers, Explorers and Navigators will meet at Mansel Carter Park in Queen Creek in the Fall and Gilbert Riparian Preserve in Gilbert in the Spring. Our Teen Naturalist program will be working closely with local organizations, so locations will vary and will be in the East and/or West Valleys.
Cost:
The cost for our ECO Discoverer, Adventurer, Explorer, and Navigator programs will be the same. Our ECO Pathfinder program will have lower fees since the class is shorter, more play based learning and parents remain at class with their child(ren). Our Teen Naturalist program will also have lower fees since it will be more project based with a focus on stewardship and citizen science. However there may be small additional fees throughout the year to cover speaker and fieldtrip costs for the Teen Naturalist program.
