Why not give your children a summer experience that will help them explore their potential, challenge their limitations, and grow their character? WNS is offering a unique new summer opportunity in an effort to get Every Child Outside . . . the ECO Academy!

The ECO Academy utilizes are woodlands, wetlands, and waterways as outdoor learning environments where children can explore, discover, imagine, learn, and play. Our environmental education staff will teach children to make the most of time spent in the outdoor environment and help them grow their self confidence in it. Children active in the outdoors are healthier, more engaged in play, and more interested in learning, . . . not to mention having more fun!

Each session is different so you can enroll your child in more than one week for new and unique learning experiences.
