Anchorage's little gem in the woods. If you get a chance this summer, head out to the Campbell Creek Science Center, take a tour of the facility and meander through the grounds. The center is part of the Campbell Tract which boosts 12 miles of trails. My kids have gone on multiple field trips to the center over the year and my daughter Darby just completed the Earth Ranger series. It was a three outdoor blast running around the woods building ant circuses, investigating wildlife and investigating cause and effect of environmental what ifs!
Over the summer, check out a Science-in-a-Backpack! These packs designed to introduce basic field techniques. Explore the health and inhabitants of Campbell Creek using the Water Quality Pack. Search for and investigate insects and their relatives with the Invertebrate Pack.
Science-in-a-Backpack packs can be checked out for up to a week at a time and must be reserved ahead of time by calling (907) 267-1247.
