Student scientists and teachers will be dropped off at the Chelan Falls Powerhouse Park parking lot shown in the enlarged box. From there we will take your lunches to the picnic tables and direct you and your class to an amazing volunteer who will lead you to your first station.
Groups headed to the Power House (labeled P.H. on map) will be led on a tour by a PUD volunteer.
There are three outdoor activities, Build-A-Dam Energy Transformation, and the Salmon Survival game, which will be held in the fields in the park. Station leaders will help direct you to your specific site (labeled in green, yellow, and light blue on the map).
Restrooms (labeled in pink on the map) are located near the picnic shelter where the groups will be starting the Build-A-Dam activity.

Every group will be taken through the Chelan Falls Powerhouse by a PUD volunteer at some point during your visit. Make sure you stick with your tour guide and return to the Powerhouse Park after you are finished.

Items to be carried by students and adults:
Each group leader will carry a map, schedule, & a watch or cell phone (not provided) to keep track of time. Please bring your own clipboard if desired.
Everyone should have a light jacket (that can be tied around the waist) as weather is variable at this time of year.
Students should not bring back-packs (exceptions, of course, for a medical need).
All adults are encouraged to model learning. Teachers and chaperones:
Join your students and participate as learners and helpers at stations. Your participation is important to the students’ experiences. (If you must use your cell phone, please do so only between classes and step away from learning area.)
Help students stay focused. Stand near students who need extra attention.
Support our station teachers by helping students to problem-solve.
Try to stay on schedule. NO MATTER WHAT, depart on time
Follow your schedule. You may need to politely cut-off your station teacher so you can leave on time. Starting on time is particularly important after lunch. I will be around to announce a 5 minute until the end of lunch reminder.
You go on a bit of a walk to tour the Powerhouse so have your class ready before your scheduled tour.
Restrooms/Drinking fountains
Facilities are close to the covered picnic area. Please allow students to use restrooms and get a drink between presentations.
Students need to check with their group leader before going to the restrooms.
Be mindful of safety at all time.
Use your cell phone to call for support (see contact numbers above).
Groups must be accompanied by a tour guide inside the Chelan Falls Powerhouse.
