FIELD TRIP PROGRAMS - SPRING-SUMMER 2018

Each field study program is individual, and can be customized to create unique learning opportunities. We are happy to incorporate alternate lessons or team building activities. The Center's facilities include hiking trails, a brook, recreation field, covered pavilion, picnic area, rain garden, and main building with large multi-purpose room. Our award-winning Staff, led by Lead Educator Jill Burgy (recipient of Bergen County Audubon Society's Teacher Appreciation Award), provides an attentive, hands-on learning experience and the applied skills to foster a lifelong curiosity for science and nature. was Programs are designed around New Jersey state standards, and provide technical skill development immersed in the natural beauty of the Ramapo Mountains. Our programs are rain or shine; so please dress appropriately!
