About this Event
Alaska Eco EDventures


This program is geared towards homeschool students who are seeking to experience the culture, beauty, and ecology of Alaska’s great outdoors! Students will experience the unique natural and cultural heritage of Alaska through engaging cross-disciplinary lessons that combine arts, culture, and outdoor exploration. Each EDventure will begin with a wildlife-themed lesson chosen by zoo educators as the month’s highlight. The program includes zoo trail explorations, outdoor scavenger hunts, animal encounters, science discoveries, and hands-on projects.

While the students are in class, the rest of the family is welcome to tour the zoo! Neither parents nor younger siblings can sit in on classes. While students are in the program, one parent and one child (sibling) will receive free admission into the zoo to enjoy their own self-guided visit. Please see zoo educators for your pass when you check your student in for the program.



Program Details

$30 per student. Register your student online (full payment at the time of registration) at least 2 weeks in advance. An email notice will be sent to you which will serve as a receipt if you are submitting for reimbursement.

Payment and Refund Policy: Full payment is due online at the time of registration. Please be sure you have your schedule and plans committed before you register. If you need to cancel your registration and you contact us one week or more in advance of the program, you will be eligible for a 50% refund. If you contact us one week or less in advance of the program, no refund will be given. We will not be making exceptions to this policy for any reason due to the staff time required to prepare for the program and the loss of opportunity to fill the spot cancelled.

  • Duration is 2.5 hours (10:00am-12:30 pm). Parents meet up with zoo educators in the Gateway classroom for check-in. One parent and one child (sibling) receive free zoo admission during the program at check-in. Parents and siblings are not allowed to sit in on the class. We keep it just for the students to reduce background noise and chaos in the classroom.
  • Max 15 students per class. Each student must be registered separately.
