Get outdoors and visit the only natural canyon in Cook County! Get the rare opportunity to collect fossils from a REALLY OLD limestone quarry. It contains geological features from thousands of years ago and is home to extremely unique plant life and rock formations. There are also over 100 species of migrant and resident birds that fly in and out of this habitat every year. The canyon has a stream running through it, so wear shoes that can get wet. Get ready to be amazed at what you might find - possibilities are endless! This is a super program, which means the duration is longer than usual. The Bridge will provide water and a snack for each student.
IMPORTANT: Students will travel in The Bridge Bus to Sagawau Environmental Learning Center located at 12545 West 111th Street in Lemont. Must have "Permission to Transport" indicated on Student Membership Application.
All Educational Support programs are sponsored in part by Inspire Dental Wellness.
