All of our programs are hands-on experiences that are student-driven to encourage a learning environment that is fun, creative and inquiry based. Our environmental education programs are science based, follow New York State Learning Standards and cover a wide range of topics. Please see our complete list on the website.
We also offer outdoor education programs which include:
Recreation programs - hiking, snowshoeing, canoeing, kayaking, night hikes, fishing, camping
Outdoor living skills: map and compass, shelter-building, fire-building, campfire cooking
The educators at Dyken Pond Center teach in all sorts of conditions - from classrooms to bogs, snowy forests to muddy hillsides. In both the physical and experiential sense, we are adept at meeting the learner “where they are,” and building understanding from there.
Please look at our subcategories for how we can best help you connect with the natural world.
