Youth and Family Events

Registration closes noon, Tuesday, November 10. We email a supplies list and materials 24+ hours prior to the program.

Discover the many bird body systems that give birds the ability to take flight! We’ll focus on the skeletal system, learning how skeletal systems protect internal organs, give animals’ bodies a specific shape, and help each animal survive. Engage in activities exploring the skeletal system – a great program to pair with human skeletal system curriculum.

The activities and content are designed for Middle/Upper school learning levels ages 10-16.

The fee is $10 per computer.

An email with meeting details will be sent prior to the event. Please add info@denveraudubon.org and suzy@denveraudubon.org to your contacts to ensure delivery. If you don't see the email within 45 minutes prior to program start time, check Junk/Spam folders, then contact Suzy at 303-949-3077.
