Walk across the fore bay deck on top of the 4 billion pound Rocky Reach concrete dam that leads them to the powerhouse.  Learn how juvenile and adult salmon pass the dam on their journeys to and from the ocean.  Once inside the powerhouse, look over the three football field long generation floor and learn how energy in the river is used to generate electricity while protecting salmon.

Students learn the external anatomy of a fish then apply paint and carefully press paper over it for a colorful print in the same manner that Japanese fishermen once recorded their daily catch, by making a fish rubbing (gyo=fish, taku=rubbing).

Become a salmon and migrate your way past predators, fishing boats, dams, and waterfalls to make it back to your home stream.

Students become caddisflies, stoneflies, and other aquatic insects in a game of tag. They quickly learn that some insects are more susceptible to environmental changes than others.

Students and parents alike learn-through-playing in a giant sandbox! This hands-on interactive watershed modeling activity is a unique experience, where you can learn the elements of a healthy watershed and then use that knowledge to create ideal Salmon habitat.

Join a biologist in a real fish dissection and see what’s inside that makes a salmon a salmon!

Join the Audubon society to search high and low for life-like wooden bird models. Learn skills to help identify birds that you can see right here in North Central Washington.
