Environmental Education Association of South Carolina
2015 Annual Conference

Community to Classroom / Classroom to Community

Tuesday and Wednesday, July 21-22
EdVenture Children’s Museum
Columbia, SC

What?

Exploring models for formal and informal educators to collaborate in and out of the classroom; providing opportunities for students to improve and educate their communities about environmental issues and action.

Family Friendly!

Bring your children to the Bike Ride (13 and older) and State Museum with us! Just add them when you register.

You can also sign your child up for one of four Day Camp options we've arranged with EdVenture.

• Four Alarm Fire
• Spa Science
• Robotastic
• Molecular Munchables

EEASC conference registrants can choose a special 1 or 2 day option during the conference rather than the full week general public option. Click the Kid's Day Camp option when you register, and we will send you details on signing up for these camps!

Thanks to EdVenture for making these day camps possible!
