OVERNIGHTS |
Our Overnights
Program is returning thanks to a grant from the Institute
for Museum and Library Services, supporting the Youth Stewardship
Initiative!
Soon you will be able to come
explore all that ECHO has to offer... at NIGHT!
|
 Starting
in the spring of 2012, ECHO will launch a series of day camps
and overnight programs, which offer youth the opportunity to get
behind-the-scenes at ECHO and out into the watershed to explore
and protect the Lake Champlain Basin. In partnership with the
Rubenstein Ecosystems Science Laboratory and the Lake Champlain
Basin Program, ECHO will design programs that provide youth real
access to scientific tools and experiences--using resources from
science labs, lake stewardship initiatives and the interactive
environment of a hands-on science center. Programs will take place
in ECHO's new, expanded space, the Revision
Lakeside Pavilion which will be complete in the spring of
2012.
Our Overnight Program is designed for supervised groups of children
in grades four and above. Campers discover more than 70 species
of live animals from the Lake Champlain Basin and interact with
more than 100 hands-on exhibits, including special ECHO Encounters
- games, crafts, science experiments, and more. We provide trained
program Staff to make your explorations fun and easy. Then, sleep-out
in our unique exhibit areas, maybe even next to a fish or turtle!
What is an ECHO Overnight all about?

for Girl or Boy Scouts, teen clubs, mentoring groups, and
