Join Our Summer 2002 Nature Discovery for Kids
at the
Rio Grande Nature Center
2901 Candelaria NW Albuquerque NM 87107
Sponsored by the Friends of the Rio Grande Nature Center
Instructors are New Mexico certified teachers.
Join our Summer Program! Children will enjoy Nature Walks to observe, identify and collect data. Studies will also take place inside the Nature Center, in the classroom, and in the beautiful observation room.
Be prompt; classes meet in the parking lot and disperse throughout the area. (If you are late you may not find your class.) After class, children will return to the parking lot to be picked up.
Please register for each class separately.
