East Tennessee is extraordinarily beautiful country, but transportation and language barriers often prevent Latino families from disfrutando their new home. Centro Hispano de East Tennessee is thrilled to be partnering with the Great Smoky Mountains Institute at Tremont for a day of outdoor fun and bilingual education centered around ecology and environmental stewardship. Nestled in one of the most biodiverse ecosystems in the country, Tremont encourages visitors to step outside, explore, ask questions, try something new, and learn via hands-on, immersive experiences. Centro Hispano staff will accompany 10-15 East Tennessee Latino families on the one-hour bus ride into the Smokies, where families will explore the park; enjoy a family-style, home-cooked meal prepared by Tremont staff; and choose between adventures in stream exploration, hiking, and a salamander scavenger hunt! Also including opportunities for group reflection, this time together in the heart of the Smokies aims to foster a deeper connection to the land, develop resilience, and encourage critical thinking about humanity’s role as stewards of our planet.

Bryce Canyon National Park and the National Park Service welcomes Latino Conservation week. We will have a table outside celebrating the event, with Latino employees. We will have fun activities like a scavenger hunt, Jr. ranger books, and an arts and craft project that lets you build your own small hoodoo. Also, you can come up to the table about ask questions about the hikes or things to do in the park. 

*Completing the Jr. ranger books will reward you with a Jr. ranger badge. Then completing the scavenger hunt will reward you a button, while supplies last.

About Luis:

When Luis Rubio-Aguilar was 10 years old, he migrated from his birthplace in Jalisco, Mexico, to the Lake Tahoe area. Growing up there was an awesome experience for a kid: He got to ski, camp, ride bikes, play ball, and enjoy the beach. At 12 years old, he started skiing at Homewood Mountain Resort, where he fell in love with it. He has now worked in the ski industry for more than 10 years, and with his PSIA Level 2 Alpine certification, he enjoys coaching and teaching kids in one of his favorite sports. He is also a camp guide (bilingual), mentor, and musician. He spends a lot of his free time in woods and meadows identifying plants, flowers, and mushrooms and learning about their uses and their roles in nature. Time in the woods gives him peace of mind, an opportunity to reflect, and a sense of how complex life is. The more he learns about that, the more in touch he feels with himself and with life’s challenges. Having faced his own share of challenges, both when growing up and as an adult, he hopes the experiences he can share with students and peers will offer both knowledge and understanding.

Fifth-graders from throughout Eagle County who attend public and private schools or receive homeschool education gather at a common location for a day full of all things water.  When the event started back in 2019, it was part of the Eagle Valley Outdoor Movement – a coalition that breaks down the barriers of outdoor recreation – with the goal to teach our young students about local rivers and streams and inspire a curiosity for nature. Students learn all about water through hands-on exploratory activities. Activities include fly fishing, water safety, macro-invertebrate searching, and how water treatment works. Each student visits 5 stations throughout the day and local community experts lead each station. 

Event Highlights:

• Educational Opportunities: Learn about environmental issues affecting Latino communities.
• Access to the Anacostia River: Activities that support and increase access to the river (fishing, kayaking, and boat tours)
• Outdoor Learning and Recreation: Enjoy outdoor learning and recreational activities.
• Community Engagement: Connect with local environmental and community engagement efforts.
