Discovery Southeast is offering two separate Discovery Days for children age 7-12 on Tuesday, February 21 and Wednesday, February 22. (Those are both parent conference days for the Juneau School District)

[Last year's March Discovery Day at Eaglecrest]

On Tuesday: We'll head down to South Douglas with naturalist Kanaan Bausler to discover the natural areas there. The day will end with ice skating at Treadwell Ice Arena (we'll cover all the costs of skating/renting gear).

[Last year's February Discovery Day at the Glacier Visitor Center]

On Wednesday: We strike out to Eagle Beach State Park with Kanaan for a day out the road, using the Eagle Beach cabin as a warm-up spot. (Transportation provided!)

What to bring: Children should come with a lunch, snack, water bottle, and weather-appropriate clothing to stay comfortable and happy outside. Depending on what the weather gives us, children may bring their own snowshoes, although this is optional. Discovery Southeast has 20 pairs of child-sized and 7 pairs of adult-sized snowshoes, which are available on a first come-first served sign-up basis. We can also help outfit your child with rubber boots or snowgear if needed -- please ask in advance.

Prices: $35 per day for Discovery Southeast members, $40 per day for non-members. Scholarships available -- call 463-1500 to inquire.

Transportation: 

Tuesday in South Douglas: No transportation provided. Dropoff at 9am at the Mt. Jumbo trailhead on 5th Street (located next to 319 5th Street); pickup at 3:30pm at the Treadwell Ice Arena. The children will be ice skating -- open skate lasts until 4pm that day, so children are free to stay and enjoy the rest of open skate under parent supervision! 

Wednesday at Eagle Beach: Transportation provided. We have teamed up with SAGA's Eagle Valley Center to offer a shuttle Out-the-Road. Pickup at Harborview at 8:30am, pickup at Riverbend at 8:50am. Drop off at Riverbend at 3:40pm, drop off at Harborview at 4:00pm.
