Headwaters Science Institute does not have upcoming sessions on ActivityHero right now. We can send you an email when they do.
Since 2014 Headwaters has strived to help kids not only understand how to do research but to access the confidence to complete research independently and to ask questions about the natural world. With a mission of fostering curiosity through science, it is our hope that students will not only become intrigued by these scientific discoveries but will begin to question the greater world around them. We aim to create informed citizens who blossom when faced with opportunities to positively impact society through engagement, curiosity, and applications of the scientific method. We teach a process called Student Driven Research (where students learn science through their own discovery) through science camps, school programs, and extracurricular activities both in person and online.
Headwaters Science Institute is committed to maintaining the highest safety and security standards for our programs. When your children are in our care, you can trust that they are safe.All employees and contractors are background checked before they start working with us. We use a national-level background check program called National Crime Search (nationalcrimesearch.com) that searches all states and county records for any criminal records, sex & violent offenders, and includes a terrorist search. Our staff members are all first-aid and CPR certified. Some are Wilderness First Responder certified as well. We have a safety plan for every field site we use and know where the nearest fire station is located. We are never more than a few minutes walk to the nearest road. In the unlikely event of an emergency, we always work in areas that are easily served by 911. Our field site on Donner Summit is less than 2 miles from the nearest fire station with full-time EMT services and the hospital is a short 10-minute ride away.
