The Outdoor Explorers (children ages 6-8) program is also 6 hours over three days; and the theme this year is “It Isn’t Easy Being Green.”  Children participating in the program will learn through activities, walks, games, and crafts about a variety of green plants and animals, as well as how they themselves can be good stewards, or “green.”  There is no requirement for a parent or guardian to remain with the child during this program.  The Outdoor Explorer program will be held August 11, 12, and 13, from 10:00 AM until 12:00 PM.

There is no fee to participate in the DiscoverE programs.  However, class size for Parker Dam State Park’s DiscoverE programs may be limited and participants must be pre-registered.  Parents can pre-register their children by calling the Parker Dam State Park Office at (814) 765-0630, open 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM daily.  If you would like more information about any of the DiscoverE programs at Parker Dam State Park, contact the Environmental Education Specialist at Parker Dam State Park by phone at (814) 765-0630, or by email at parkerdamsp@pa.gov.
