“Envi Sci” is a unique month-long outdoor program for teenagers that gives students the chance to have fun enjoying the wilderness while learning about the science of the environment. Highlights include hikes to Blue Hills and Mount Monadnock, bicycle trips, a 12-mile canoe trip on the Charles River, an expedition through the salt marshes of the North shore, and an exhilarating three-day backpacking trip up Mount Washington.
Students learn about the environment through science workshops the leaders design, such as geology, botany, ecology, water cycle, pollution issues, and conservation. Register or get more information at http://www.newtonenvisci.org or email contact@newtonenvisci.org .
