Elizabeth, This was what I had from Linda Fey that I sent to everyone regarding these classes and the age ranges:

Here's the Sr. summer program schedule. Most of these are aimed at ages 12 and up but some, like the Bosque and Fossil programs could work for a very "into it" 8 or 10 year old. I'll be working on the schedule for the ecology explorations over the week end and will have something put together by the end of next week -- Ecology Explorations won't start until the week of the 12th and I'll be aiming for elementary aged students.

For anyone wondering about the elementary age classes: Linda Fey told me that enrollment in those classes has been consistently low, so they aren't going to do them.

The Fall class schedule should be available in a few weeks and I'll be posting that as well.
