Last Week: Migration

Why do animals travel thousands of miles each year? On this episode of The Children’s Hour, we explore the fascinating world of migration with author and researcher Scott Weidensaul. From birds flying by night to whales swimming across oceans, we learn how animals find their way, why they move, and what risks they face. You’ll even hear the secret sounds of birds migrating in the dark, captured by Bird Note.

This Week: Camping With Kids

What’s it like to sleep outside, cook over a fire, and carry everything you need on your back? In this episode of The Children’s Hour, our Kids Crew shares their own outdoor adventures and learns about how to stay safe and have fun while camping. We’re joined by experts from Cottonwood Gulch Expeditions and meteorologist Kerry Jones to answer questions and share tips about preparing for the wilderness.

Next Week: End of School

This time on The Children’s Hour, it’s the end of the school year. Students are graduating and moving on to different grades, and sometimes to different schools. We’ll celebrate the graduates and give special honors to our teachers, who have guided us all school year. Plus, sit back and laugh with Bill Harley as we hear a story about what happens with teachers in the summertime.
