The programs typically include a half-mile (round trip) hike with a small hill. Please have students dress appropriately for the outdoors with warm boots and outerwear. All ages are welcome and the program can be adapted to the age and grade level of the students.

Quests: a search or pursuit made in order to find or obtain something.

• “Fisher Quest (Grades 2-5)”

These programs challenge students to complete learning activities and put clues together as they travel among learning stations in search of a final prize. Some of these programs may be adapted to be done on-site at your school – please call and ask!
