Cancelled: Mapping Early Phoenix – Homeschool Days

*** For the health and safety of all, this event has been cancelled.  Please check back on our calendar in the fall for more activities! ***

This field trip is all about maps. We review how to read them, practice using them, and learn the stories they have to tell. The stories focus on the area’s past, why and how it was settled, and how it has changed over time. All activities are interactive and include many hands on activities.

Our Homeschool Days are reserved especially for home educated families. “Mapping Early Phoenix” is geared towards students 7 years and older, but children of all ages are welcome.
