After-School Programs in Durango
San Juan Science Ramblers, K-5
Too much screen time? Get your kids outside with SJMA’s new after-school program, the San Juan Science Ramblers. Kids, grades K-5, will be led on after school science- based hiking adventures with our amazing education staff and volunteers. This is a great option for kids who love nature and science. Each month will have a theme focused on outdoor exploration and learning.
During the month of December, we will be offering only one session, 3 weeks long, for “Remote Learners” due to the closures of all the District 9r schools.
