Environmental Education

Understanding the natural world around you and engaging in fun ways with your local green space are important for not only personal health and well being - but for the sustainable health of the community as a whole.

Sixteenth Street offers environmental education year-round through summer camp and after-school programming for kids, family workshops and tailored programming for schools on-demand.

Learn about and enjoy nature

Sixteenth Street helps kids and families get active outside and learn sustainable practices for a healthier tomorrow. IT's fun for the whole family and good for the planet!
