Give your students a vibrant context for learning with hands-on exploration and observation of nature at the Schuylkill Center. Our 365 acres of fields, forests, and ponds are a living laboratory for students of all ages. Since 1965, hundreds of thousands of students have benefited from our field-tested educational offerings. In addition to a guided lesson, students can explore our indoor Discovery Center, visit the environmental art gallery, and eat lunch in our picnic grove. Programs can be customized to meet your group’s needs.
