About EcoExpeditions
EcoExpeditions are an opportunity for your child to step outside and explore in a way that balances play with purpose on days off from school. These one day adventures lead to wellness, fun, and new relationships as we use nature-themed activities to explore the park, make new friends, and develop our connection to the world around us.
Our Plans For Fun
Sept 1: River Ramble
What lives in, on, and along the Genesee River? We will explore the diversity that makes up our river ecosystem in the city.
Sept 2: Rockin' and Rollin' Along Mount Hope
Mount Hope Avenue is a place filled with nature, history, and secret spots to explore. Who knows what we will find?
