Education and Outreach
Welcome
to the online world of ‘Ahakhav Tribal Preserve’s Environmental
Education Website. Whether you are a newcomer or a frequent visitor, our
new website will help you rediscover the beauty and natural splendor of
Parker Valley, CRIT’s Reservation, The Mohave & Sonoran Deserts, and
the area’s primary environmental education center and park.
School Programs
In addition to the Camp Programs, the Preserve provides area schools with field trip opportunities as well as outreach services.
One-half
and full day environmental education field trips to the preserve are
offered from September through November and February through May. Outreach
programs provide hands-on learning in the school classrooms and are
offered throughout the school year.
All lessons will meet state science curriculum standards and will be designed to improve science and other test scores. Furthermore, students will enjoy hands on and experiential learning about topics ranging from botany and gardening to Colorado River fishes and desert fauna.
A Teacher Professional Development day is held annually at the preserve. Teachers receive training on many ecological and cultural subjects and information on educational resources, as well as information about our programs. On April 7th 2007 ATP will provide a Teacher inservice day at the Preserve and will offer the opportunity for teachers to ear professional development hours while learning about about the cultures of the Colorado River Indian Tribes and ethnobotany.

Camp 'Ahakhav
For
the first time in several years, ‘Ahakhav Tribal Preserve is offering
summer and intersession camp programs to area youth.
All programs will provide hands-on learning in the educational facility,
in the park, and in area sites of ecological and cultural importance
as well as an 1 to 3 day field trip opportunity.
Local
youth and adults are invited to come to the Preserve and participate in
these environmental and ecology education programs which include hands on
science lessons, craft and cultural projects.
The environmental education programs at the preserve are offered through a generous grant from the Inter Tribal Trust Fund which is administered by the Inter Tribal Council of Arizona. These funds will allow all area CRIT youth to attend the camps for free and other students to attend at a heavily subsidized rate.
