Education Events
We are excited to welcome summer back to Colorado Lagoon! We will be hosting two types of events regularly:
1) Second Saturdays will occur each second Saturday of the month from 10 am - 12 pm. These events offer a more structured interaction with the lagoon and our educators. They begin with a brief history of the lagoon, followed by a discussion about the ecology of the lagoon, and usually include a hands-on activity such as planting, weeding, or trash removal. What to bring? Most importantly, we just need your enthusiasm! In addition, you should bring closed toed shoes that can get dirty (required), water, sunscreen (as needed), snacks (as needed), and favorite work gloves (if you want).
Find us at the WAMSEC on June 14, July 12, August 9, September 13, October 11, November 8, and December 13!
2) Summer Science Shack runs every Saturday from approximately 12 - 3 pm and offers a chance to drop by the WAMSEC, interact with our educators, and learn about the lagoon from the history to the critters that call the lagoon home.
