Spend one day in the classroom and two days in the field doing earth systems activities for the youngest learners using the Elementary GLOBE curriculum.

The field session consists of kayaking one of South Dakota's gorgeous rivers doing field studies along the way.  No experience is necessary but a sense of adventure is as the campsites will be primitive.  The trip is outfitted, no gear required beyond your personal effects.
