From Pajarito Environmental Education Center:
The Pajarito Environmental Education Center (PEEC) has announced that its afterschool kid’s club, Forest Explorers, is now available for grades 1-3 and 4-6.
Forest Explorers will meet 1-4 p.m. Wednesdays Jan. 18 through May 3.
During this 3-hour drop-off program, kids go on hikes from Los Alamos Nature Center and engage in self-directed exploration and play in the canyons, creeks and surrounding forest. Children build forts, get close to the natural world and build awareness of different plants and animals around them. The program encourages children to have fun while working cooperatively, building gross motor skills and learning more about the local ecology.
Admission for this session (15 meetups) is $340 for PEEC members and $420 for non-members. Advance registration is required.

PEEC was founded in 2000 to serve the community of Los Alamos. It offers people of all ages a way to enrich their lives by strengthening their connections to our canyons, mesas, mountains, and skies. PEEC operates the Los Alamos Nature Center at 2600 Canyon Road, holds regular programs and events, and hosts several interest groups from birding to hiking to butterfly watching. PEEC activities are open to everyone; however, members receive exclusive benefits such as discounts on programs and gift shop merchandise. Annual memberships start at $35.
