Montlake’s Natural After-School Playground

Montlake Community Center has teamed up with Pinnacle Explorations Outdoor School to launch a new after-school program this fall. The Nature and Science After-School Enrichment Exploration program is dedicated to providing a meaningful educational experience that inspires students to develop lifelong connections with nature.

Pinnacle Director Sean Chan

With a focus on hands-on learning, students take part in interactive demonstrations, experiments and crafts. While playing outdoors & experimenting in the classroom, students practice making observations & testing hypothesis. According to Sean Chan, Director of Pinnacle Explorations, “students are encouraged to share and build on their own experiences, as we explore various Earth System Science concepts and Outdoor skills.”

The program offers three, four, or five day per week options which include healthy snacks and homework help. Monthly rates starting at $280 for 3 days per week. Scholarships are available.

To sign up, call the Montlake Community Center at (206) 684-4736
