New PEAK in action

This picture was taken by Team West from a recent Leave No Trace/Subaru Traveling Trainer event. The kids participated in a Leave No Trace relay race. Participants worked as pairs to complete various stations where they had to act out each principle.

The Center is currently designing and testing new activities for the PEAK (Promoting Environmental Awareness in Kids) program. General themes for these new activities include: large group activities, younger audiences and more "urban" themed games. Two new PEAK activities and two new Teen activities will become available to the public at the end of the summer. Stay tuned for more information!
