BACKYARD ODYSSEY KIT

The Watershed Institute introduces Backyard Odyssey, kits full of fabulous fun activities to engage children in nature based play. Have an adventure in your own backyard, or a local park. Each Odyssey contains instructions, supplies and equipment for a week's worth of outdoor fun, as well as a few indoor activities for stormy days. We will also include links with the option to watch video presentations from Watershed Institute Education staff. 

Backyard Odyssey kits can be picked up at The Watershed Institute with scheduled pick up times using safe distancing measures.

Kits are limited, so order yours today! For ages 6-12.

Kit Options:

  • Just Add Water*: An exploration of the importance of water, properties of water, and life in water. Some activities will benefit from a visit to a local pond or stream. A bucket full of fun! *This kit will include a live "pond in a jar" containing algae and other small organisms.

  • Trek Wild*: Explore the ecosystem of your own yard or a local park. From the tiniest insect to the tallest tree, discover the wildlife all around you. Investigate animals, plants, and more with activities designed to keep you engaged with the natural world. Some activities will work best if children are given an outdoor area where they can safely dig in the soil. A treasure box full of adventure! *This kit will include live meal worms for observation. You will need to give them a small carrot or slice of apple every other week.

Pricing:

Kits are $50 each and include written instruction sheets, a field guide, reusable equipment, art supplies, curated activity kits, and so much more.
