144 students took Discovery Days field trips to explore the ecological and cultural wonders of Lake Roosevelt. Thank you to the tribal, agency and private sector natural resource experts for volunteering their time to lead students through hands-on, minds-on activities.

Over 250 4th grade students took a step back in time with the National Park Service, Friends of Spokane House and Kettle Falls Historical Center to learn about the Fur Trade and what life looked like in this area more than 150 years ago! Activities included Sign Talk, Women of the Fur Trade, Primitive Bow and Arrow, Life of a Free Trapper, Fur Trade Items, Local Fur Trade History and more!
