Our January Adventure is all about snowflakes, snow and water! You will learn about Wilson Bentley - the Snowflake Man, the beauty of a snowflake and the importance of snow for our water.
Join this Adventure Saturday January 29th at 10 am for a fun filled hour of storytelling, learning about snowflakes and making your very own snowflake! When you register for this Adventure you will receive a Citizen Science Kit that comes in a special container and includes a story book, a specially branded Adventures for Wilderness pencil and all the supplies to make your own snowflake.
The first 10 people registered for this Adventure will receive as a bonus, a beautiful Adventures for Wilderness patch to put on your pack or jacket.
Minimum sponsorship for each Snowflake Adventure registration is $30. More than one person can join in from home via zoom, but if you want to have a second Citizen Science Kit you will need to register and pay the minimum Adventure Sponsorship for each participant (all sponsorships are tax deductible donations and we hope you will be generous and sponsor your child for more than $30.)
In the coming months, 9 more Kids Citizen Science Adventures will be posted and include fun topics like Coyotes, Native Bees, Innii (Bison), Grizzly Bears, Alberta Orchids, Squiggly Snakes, Water Bugs and Trout and their Streams, Little Brown Bats and Woodland Caribou.
By joining these Adventures you will learn about Wild Alberta and have fun learning about wildlife and landscapes and how to be a citizen scientist. Each Adventure includes videos, stories, facts and a "kit" with craft materials, a book and more. You can register for one or all 10 - most often the Adventure will be on the last Saturday of the month. There is no Kids' Citizen Science Adventure in July or December of 2022.
When you register your kit will be delivered to your home if you live in the Calgary area, if not we can arrange to send by mail for a fee or you can pick up your kit at the AWA office in Calgary.
AWA volunteers, staff and content experts will be included as the lead teachers for each Adventure. More details in coming days!!
This Adventure will take place by Zoom. The required link and passcode will be provided to all registrants in advance of the Adventure.
Your Adventure Kit will be delivered to you if you live in Calgary; otherwise it can be mailed for a fee or you can arrange to pick up in Calgary.
The following adventures will also be offered over the course of 2022 as part of the Kids’ Citizen Science series. Stay tuned for more details!
