Swimming Salmon

Did you know that the Guadalupe River is the southern-most river to support a Chinook salmon migration? Help your children build empathy as they dive into the salmon’s world, living out one day in the challenging life of this keystone species. Great for those with lots of energy, in this program they will roleplay spawners as they navigate their way from the ocean back to their home streams to spawn and start the next generation. Not only fun and games, children will leave with a better understanding of the delicate balance of natural life as well as some ideas to make life easier for our fishy friends.

Topics Covered: Salmon, spawning, role-playing, riparian ecosystem, keystone species, specimens

Special Note About This Program: This is a great program for an active group as it is structured to include movement and imagination.
