Outdoor Education
 Jr. Creek Keepers
Ages
3-5 yrs.
Cost: $5 per participant
An awareness and appreciation program introducing preschoolers
to the inhabitants of creeks, open space, wetlands, and the importance
of caring for and preserving "their" creek system in
Elk Grove. Building upon the natural curiosity that children have
for mammals, birds, invertebrates, and aquatic and plant life,
the Junior Creek Keepers curriculum focuses on age appropriate
hands-on games, activities and projects. This instills a sense
of responsibility in the participants to care for the natural
resources in their own neighborhoods.

 Trail
Trekkers
Ages 6-12 yrs.
Cost: $5 per participant
Trail Trekkers builds on the Jr. Creek Keepers program by providing
creek education to youth ages 6-12. This program teaches children
the importance of respect for the environment, their responsibility
as a citizen, and how to be a leader when it comes to integrity
in the outdoors. Trail Trekkers is a great learning experience
for school groups. Participants will also get the opportunity
to fulfill various requirements toward earning their badges/emblems
offered through youth merit programs.
