Plan Ahead
Visits to CCEEC, either
with your school or on your own, can be more enjoyable
if you remember a few
simple things.

Dress for the weather 
Many of the activities at the center take place outside,
and we often find ourselves hiking no mater what!


Check the weather, if it may rain on the day of you visit, bring a rain jacket or poncho. Umbrellas don't
work very well here.


Always wear proper shoes
for the outdoors. You will be walking in dirt, wet grass, sand, and MUD! Please
don't wear good sneakers, sandals, or heels. It's also
a good idea to tie, zipper, buckle, or Velcro those
shoes too. The mud here
at CCEEC is known to have collected a few shoes. You may be going home with just one!

What to Wear
• Proper clothes for the   weather and time of year. 
• A hat to keep your head   warm, or sun off
• Old 'play' shoes
• Bright colors

What to Bring
• A notebook and pencil
• A disposable camera so
  you can share your trip
  with your family
• Any allergy, or other,
  medication you may
  need (your teacher
  should have this)
• A lunch. Remember to
  pack an eco-friendly lunch

Things Not to Bring
• CD or MP3 players
• Cell phones which easily
  get lost
• Hiking sticks
• Umbrellas

Pack an
Eco-friendly Lunch

Every year students bring thousands of pounds of trash to CCEEC with their lunches. This trash is filling up our landfills (dumps) at an incredible rate. Soon there will be nowhere to put it all!

You can help by doing a few simple things: 

• Use a reusable lunch
  bag/box instead of a
  paper or plastic bag
• Use reusable containers
  instead of sandwich bags
• Bring cloth napkins,
  not paper
• Pack a drink that comes
  in a reusable or recyclable
  container
• Avoid prepackaged
  tray meals that produce
  lots of trash.
• Use a real metal spoon
  or fork, not plastic.
 
Educational opportunities don’t fly south just because it gets cold out. There are many reasons to book CCEEC visits or in-school assemblies during the winter. Ever go looking for animal tracks in the snow with a 4th grader? We have!
