Laurence S. Rockefeller Preserve, Craig Thomas Discovery Center, Evening Program- Communication Chaos

Note: The hike today will be approximately 3 miles round-trip with 300 feet elevation gain.

Breakfast: Hot breakfast with cereals, granola, oatmeal, fresh fruit, etc.

However, in 2007, the Rockefeller family donated the ranch and all of the surrounding lands. All visitors to Grand Teton National Park are now allowed to enjoy and explore this amazing piece of property. We will hike to Phelps Lake, a glacially carved gem at the base of Prospectors Mountain. Tracks, scat and vegetation sign will be investigated to determine what type of animals have traveled there before us. Hopefully we will also get a chance to see some of the animals as well.

Lunch: Lunch will be a packed field lunch. Each participant will get to make their own sandwich and pack what they like.

Afternoon: We'll visit the Craig Thomas Discovery Center in Grand Teton National Park.

Bird Banding, Macroinvertebrate Exploration, Evening Program- Vogel's Hill Hike

Note: Approximately 1 mile walk on flat ground to bird banding site. Evening hike will be 2 miles with an elevation gain of 500 feet.

Breakfast: Hot breakfast with cereals, granola, oatmeal, fresh fruit, etc.

Morning: This day will begin with an early morning continental breakfast. The program will then depart for Teton Science Schools' Conservation Research Center (CRC). The CRC is home to a MAPS national bird banding research project. This program involves wildlife researchers capturing songbirds in mist nets, identifying species as they collect data for the Monitoring Avian Productivity and Survivorship program. During this time, participants will have the opportunity to follow the researchers as they check the mist nets and extract birds from them and then watch as the researchers process the birds by collecting data such as gender, age and health status. Participants will then have the opportunity to release the birds back into the wild. After the bird banding, we will investigate the waters of the Snake River and look at the creatures living underneath the rocks. Macroinvertebrates are tiny microorganisms that live under rocks in streams and rivers and provide a food source for many species as well as indicate the health of the stream. This activity will give grandparents and their grandchildren probably their first glimpse of the alien-like creatures and a chance to get in the stream and kick up rocks and mud.

Lunch: Lunch will be a packed field lunch. Each participant will get to make their own sandwich and pack what they like.

Afternoon: This afternoon the group work on a service project relating to the week's activities. The project will develop as time draws closer to the program.

Dinner: Dinner will be served in our Dining Lodge by our executive chef. The menu varies greatly and is always healthy and balanced.

Evening: This evening will give participants a chance to venture up and out of Coyote Canyon for a view of the Teton Mountains and a bird’s-eye view of the Jackson Campus.
