Community Waters is a highly-rated 4th grade science unit that involves students in asking questions and solving real community environmental problems through engineering. In the process, students deepen their science knowledge, come to view science as relevant to their lives and future, and engage in science in socially relevant and transformative ways.
We offer programs in Woodinville, Seattle, and Renton that connect science learning to students’ lives and communities.
Our multi-day School Overnight Program on Bainbridge Island extends learning beyond the classroom, engaging students in critical thinking, scientific investigations, and actions that build awareness of and concern for the wellbeing of people and our planet.
Summer Day Camps on our Bainbridge Island campus boost children’s imaginations in a rich natural setting. Our instructors are experienced environmental educators with a passion for creating experiences that unlock curiosity and understanding about our environment and our world.
