Afterschool Outdoors: Steinmetz Park, Schenectady

Here’s a fun and different program that lets kids get out of school and enjoy the outdoors after the bell rings. We’ll meet in the parks and wildlife preserves around Schenectady, at 4:30 p.m. on Fridays, so there’s plenty of time to get from school or home to our green locations. We’ll be there for about an hour. Activities will usually involve hunting for different plant and animal species and exploring what makes up different environments. All ages are welcome. Adults should accompany their children.

This week’s session meets at Steinmetz Park on Lenox Road in Schenectady. Like most ECOS programs there’s no fee and pre-registration is not necessary, but you might want to pre-register to be sure of getting notifications of cancellations and, possibly, change of meeting sites.

Meet you in the woods!
