After-School Programs in Durango
Get your kids outside with SJMA’s after-school program, the San Juan Science Ramblers.
Kids, grades 1 – 6, will be led on after school science- based hiking adventures with our amazing education staff and volunteers. Fall programming will include month-long sessions in September and October. Spring programming will include month-long sessions in April and May. The number of kids will be limited to 13 per session. This a great option for kids who love nature and science. Each month will have a theme focused on outdoor exploration and learning.
