Homeschool Day: Wildfire in Idaho

Hands-on educational lessons about fire ecology and Idaho ecosystems for students.

Start Date Monday, September 21, 2026 at 10:00 AM End Date Monday, September 21, 2026 at 2:00 PM Location The WaterShed, 6411 N. Ancell Avenue, Boise, ID 83714 Tags Boise WaterShed Join The WaterShed staff to participate in hands-on activities all about fire ecology! In this hands-on lesson, students investigate how wildfire behaves in three different Idaho ecosystems—and how those patterns are shifting due to climate change. Working in small groups, they explore photos and plant materials, build a model of their ecosystem, and simulate how fire spreads. These 60-minute lessons start every hour from 10:00 am-2:00 pm. Reserve your free tickets and arrive a little early so we can get started promptly in the WaterShed classroom. This program is open to all ages, with a focus on 8-12 year olds. All youth must be accompanied by an adult. Participants may also explore the exhibit hall and outdoor river campus between 9:30 am – 4:30 pm. Please reserve tickets for all adults and youth participating in this event. 10-11am Registration Link: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/homeschool-day-wildfire-in-idaho-10-11am-tickets-1993713672263 11am-12pm Registration Link: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/homeschool-day-wildfire-in-idaho-11am-12pm-tickets-1993714546879 12-1pm Registration Link: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/homeschool-day-wildfire-in-idaho-12-1pm-tickets-1993714716386 1-2pm Registration Link: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/homeschool-day-wildfire-in-idaho-100-200pm-tickets-1993714787599
