Campbell Creek Science Center Open House 2007

Each year the Science Center invites the community to a fun-filled afternoon Open House celebration. The event coincides with National Public Lands Day and features educational activities, live music, and refreshments.

In 2007, about 300 members of the public attended the afternoon open house and learned to “Take It Outside: Connect with Your Public Lands.” Visitors received “Take It Outside” passports and participated in hands-on activities at eight different stations designed to promote benefits of spending time in nature. The stations included Animal Tracking, Alaskan Animals, Being Safe in Bear Country, Creek Critters, Birds and Birding, Orienteering, Fine-Tuning Your Observational and Sensory Skills in Nature, and Forestry. Visitors received stickers for each station they visited and earned a number of prizes based on the number of stations attended.
