Goal: $500

Minimum donation per participant: $30

All donations to AWA are eligible for a charitable tax receipt.

The April Adventure will prepare you for your summer hiking! You will be able to investigate any grizzly prints (and other animal tracks) you come across, and to recognize the signs of bears and wildlife in the forest.

Join this Adventure Saturday May 28 at 10:00 am for an hour of learning about these amazing animals. And be sure to be ready for a bit of hands-on work creating your own grizzly print cast.

Your teacher will be Sean Nichols who has worked with AWA for nearly 20 years. Sean has all kinds of experience studying grizzlies and working for their protection in Alberta.

Minimum sponsorship for each Grizzly Adventure registration is $30. More than one person can join in from home via zoom, but if you want to have a second Citizen Science Kit you will need to register and pay the minimum Adventure Sponsorship for each participant (all sponsorships are tax deductible donations and we hope you will be generous and sponsor your child for more than $30.)

In the coming months we have more Kids Citizen Science Adventures that will be posted to this site. June's Adventure will be all about Bison (Iinnii).

By joining these adventures you will learn about Wild Alberta, have fun learning about wildlife and landscapes and how to be a citizen scientist. Each Adventure includes videos, stories, facts and a "kit" with craft materials, a book and more. You can register for any or all of them - most often the Adventure will be on the last Saturday of the month.

When you register your kit will be delivered to your home if you live in the Calgary area. If not we can arrange to send by mail for a fee or you can pick up your kit at the AWA office in Calgary.

AWA volunteers, staff and content experts will be included as the lead teacher for each Adventure.

This Adventure will take place by Zoom and you can join from anywhere in the world! The required link and passcode will be provided to all registrants in advance of the Adventure. Participants will be able to email Vivian with residual questions after the Adventure.

Your Adventure Kit will be delivered to you in you live in Calgary, otherwise it can be mailed for a fee or you can arrange to pick up in Calgary.

The following adventures will also be offered over the course of 2022 as part of the Kids’ Citizen Science series. Stay tuned for more details!
