Eco Investigators 2025
Aspiring scientists ages 12-14 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. Students should dress for a daily nature walk and bring a labeled REUSABLE water bottle. Participants should have sunscreen and bug repellant applied prior to entering the Center. Limited to 12 participants.
Week 2 July 28 – August 1 Gardening: Do you already have a garden at home? Have you never tried to take care of a plant? Gardeners of all experience levels are welcome to come to get their hands dirty in this class. We will take care of the APEC greenhouse and compost, learn how to ID various native and invasive plants on the property, and harvest greens to feed the animals. Students will get to plant a variety of seeds to take home. A minimum of 6 students is required to run. Space is limited.
