The great outdoors is calling all 7-12 years old! Join Discovery Southeast naturalists
as they head out on different adventures every day during the 2009 Outdoor Explorers Summer Day Camp.
The first session
begins June 15th for 7-9 year olds.
Our 2009 schedule is available here, and click here to learn more about this exciting program.
Space is still available for both our Bears of Admiralty Island and
Whales of Icy Straits Teacher Expeditions. These dynamic programs are
designed to deepen teachers' connections to the wildlands and animals
that make our Southeast Alaskan home. Spend time with veteran
naturalists and professional guides learning about Southeast Alaska,
our iconic wildlife, and the dynamic processes that support us all.
Practice your kayaking, camping, and hiking skills - all while earning
three professional level credits from the University of Anchorage,
Alaska!

The 2008-2009 school year finds Discovery Southeast Naturalists in the
swing of visiting every 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade classroom in the Juneau
School District. The fall season had children from all six elementary
schools learning about our rainforest home. We had a fantastic winter
season, and the spring is looking to be phenomenal as well!

March 27th was our last Discovery Day of the year, and it was fantastic! It was so much fun that the Juneau Empire ran a great story about it. You can read the story here. Thanks to everyone who made all three of our Discovery Days so much fun, including (but not limited to): the staff at Eaglecrest, Doug Wessen, Karl Bausler, Eran Hood, Ken Leghorn, our staff, and the many kids who participated! We couldn't have done it without you, and we look forward to doing it again next year!
