How long does it take to complete a kit?

The Early Expeditions (K-4th grade) kits have eight lessons with three activities per lesson and Advanced Adventures (5th-8th grade) have four sections with three to six activities per section. If your family/class uses kits twice a week, it would take about four weeks to complete.

Use the kits in ways that work best for your schedule.
