Can dinosaurs do yoga? Yes, yes they can! This was just one of the many questions we answered during our summer Junior River Runners program for kids ages 5-12. Each Tuesday afternoon from June 17 – July 22, a group of 15-20 Junior River Runners explored a wide variety of topics including geology, archaeology, botany, and physical fitness through engaging, hands-on activities. We created dinosaur “fossils,” designed our own clay pots, practiced nature journaling, tackled a cookie excavation as junior archaeologists, built river models, and so much more! 

We had so much fun this summer that we will be back for more this fall! Stay tuned for more information regarding our after-school activities beginning in September. We’ll even have some virtual field trips and special guests joining us from near and far, so you won’t want to miss out! 

A special thank-you to Zoe Gardner, Specialist at Epicenter, for providing assistance with the weekly programs. We could not have done it without you!
