Middlesex County students entering grades 4 through 7 are invited to attend “Eco-Adventures at the E.A.R.T.H. Center,” a fun summer program that focuses on the environment.
Scheduled for 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. August 22 through 26, the program will take place at the EARTH Center, located in Davidson’s Mill Pond Park at 42 Riva Avenue, South Brunswick.
Each day’s events will have a different theme, and hands-on activities will explore topics like ecology, water and resource conservation, climate change and issues such as alternative energy and earth-friendly gardening. Most days will begin with a team-building exercise to help students get acquainted.
Wednesday, August 24 will feature a field trip and later in the week, students will create video public service announcements.
The registration fee of $110 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 for Eco-Adventures at the EARTH Center is August 15. Arrangements can be made for attendees with special needs.
