The Science in the Parks program will run at a park near you from June 1 – June 18th for the 2026 season!

Science in the Parks is an interactive outreach program designed for children of all ages, especially preschool through middle school, as well as their families. This free program will visit three parks in the Ogden area, in conjunction with Ogden School District’s free summer lunch program. Each week we will visit a different park from 12:00 – 1:00 pm Monday – Thursday. We will have different interactive, playful, and fun science activities. Please visit our blog or social media accounts for this year’s details.

We collaboratively work with local schools and education partners to meet the needs of teachers and students throughout our local community. Our goal is to enhance science and math education through professional learning and resources, providing tools for teachers to instill wonder and critical thinking in learners.
