Causes: Environment, Environmental Education
Mission: Natural science & ecological literacy education
Programs: School, afterschool and homeschool programs: natural science and ecological literacy programs, all including components taught at publicly accessible wild spaces. This year we taught over 1160 students in our school and homeschool programs.
summer programming: this year we developed our own kestrel summer adventures nature-science programs, which, like school programs are designed as local nature science adventures, in addition to our summer partner programs. We taught 42 students in five weeks of our own programming and 330 students in our partner programs.
expanding horizons partnership with salem public schools: kestrel designed and led extended day and afterscool programs at collins middle school in partnership with salem public schools and leap for education. Integrating nature and technology, the programs also fostered student interest in learning, leadership skills, and positive relationships with adults. We served 80 students
Kestrel provides a service that very few outdoor educational organizations offer. They encourage students to explore and ask questions about what they find, and instead of responding with an answer to those questions they encourage self-discovery through observation, experimentation inquiry.
Kestrel provides real opportunities for students to make personal discoveries and answer question like scientists do in the real world.
