Middlesex County youth entering grades 3-6 are invited to attend a fun, educational program that will help them learn about and care for the environment.
Eco-Ventures at the EARTH Center is scheduled for 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. from Aug. 21-25 at the EARTH Center, located in Davidson’s Mill Pond Park, 42 Riva Ave., South Brunswick.
Each day’s events will have a different theme. Hands-on activities will explore topics such as ecology, water and resource conservation, climate change, alternative energy and earth-friendly gardening. Most days will begin with a team-building exercise to help students get acquainted.
On Aug. 23 the activities will feature a field trip, and later in the week, students will create public service announcements.
The registration fee of $115 includes program materials, a peanut-free snack, beverages and a parting gift. Attendees are expected to bring their own brown bag lunch.
The registration deadline is Aug. 1.
Arrangements can be made for attendees with special needs.
