Calling all 3rd and 4th graders for the River Ranger Program!
This spring, War in the Pacific National Historical Park, along with non-profit partner Pacific Historic Parks and partners from Guam Department of Agriculture, will host the River Ranger Program. This free, fun, and dynamic program teaches river ecology to children in 3rd and 4th grades. Through demonstrations, hands-on activities, lively group discussions, and personal interactions with plants and wildlife, youths are encouraged to look closer at their relationship with the environment and build on their knowledge of the natural world.
Three morning-long sessions will be held on Saturdays, March 18, March 25, & April 1, 2017. Applicants may choose one session and provides a number of educational activities about Guam’s rivers. Activities require hands-on exploring of the riverbanks and the plants and animals that live there.
Be a part of this exciting free educational program that encourages youths to tune their senses to the awesome river world at their national park!
