Description: |
Quogue Wildlife Refuge 2019 Children's Summer Field Ecology Program at Quogue Wildlife Refuge in Quogue, Suffolk County, Long Island, New York.
The children's Summer Field Ecology Program consists of nine one-week explorations of the Quogue Wildlife Refuge and surrounding areas. Based on your child's grade entry level for the coming fall, he/she may attend one session of the Ecology Program.
This summer marks the 50th Anniversary of the Summer Ecology Program at the Refuge. Through hands-on, intense exploration the children will learn a few of nature's secrets and the importance of the natural world. When your child completes the program they will have more knowledge and a greater respect for the earth and its inhabitants. We hope these lessons will be carried with them throughout their lives.
