Alley Pond Pioneers 2024

Aspiring scientists entering 4^th, 5^th or 6^th grade in the fall will love exploring nature and science at APEC!  Each weekly program will focus on a different topic and have live animal guests, hands-on activities, and outdoor time. Children should dress for a daily nature walk and bring a labeled REUSABLE water bottle and nut-free snack. Participants should have sunscreen and bug repellant applied prior to entering the Center.  Limited to 12 participants.

Week 1             July 8 – July 12             Biomes and Biodiversity: Explore the fascinating world of biomes and learn how they support the world’s species. Through experiments and games, we will even get to recreate some of the processes that give their environments some of their hallmark features! Lastly, we will see how their continued health affects us all.
