Trailside Discovery, which offers outdoor and STEM-themed day camps and multiday trips for kids ages 4 to 14, is one of Southcentral Alaska’s longest-running summer camps.
Instructor Gabby Bejarano conducts a geology lesson on Friday, May 27 during a Trailside Discovery Camp session at Beach Lake in Chugiak.
Trailside, which offers outdoor and STEM-themed day camps and multiday trips for kids ages 4 to 14, is one of Southcentral Alaska’s longest-running summer camps. It started in 1982 on the campus of Alaska Pacific University and is operated by the Alaska Center Education Fund.Four decades after Trailside’s launch, some former campers are now adults with their own children in camp, and a few former campers are now instructors.
But for Bejarano, a fun and engaging 36-year-old UAA graduate with a degree in natural science and a minor in geology, this was her first week at a summer camp — ever. Bejarano’s path into STEM -- science, technology, engineering and math -- was not easy. Her husband is in the Air Force, and their daughter, Meira, just graduated high school.
