Crow's Neck has a simple two part education philosophy: Have Fun and Learn Something! We believe sharing knowledge in a setting that encourages exploration and discovery generates enthusiasm for learning. Experience shows this kind of enthusiasm stays with our students long after their visit. And we often find adult leaders are more excited than their kids as the visit rekindles a passion for learning!
Cooperation, group dynamics, environmental education, life skills, natural sciences, and outdoor recreation are brought together to form the heart of the Crow's Neck experience. The courses listed below serve as a starting point for developing a program schedule tailor-made for your group. Likewise, class lengths can be adjusted from one to three hours to meet your needs.
***All of our classes are aligned with state competencies and frameworks. References to the frameworks, along with course objectives, are available upon request. We are famous for customizing our classes to meet your needs, so please ask us how we can help! Simply, review the list below, complete and submit a Course Request Form. We will be happy to come to your school (especially, if you can help us with the cost of gas!) and meet with parents and administrators. Please give our Director of Programs a call to set it up. ***

Grab your paddle and head to the water!
This class teaches the basics and safety of canoeing against the beautiful backdrop of Bay Springs Lake. Enjoy solitude, wildlife, and the unique opportunity to get away from it all, even if only for a short time. Younger students explore the cove, while older students explore the lake by paddling to the Observation Deck or The Point. After reaching their destination, students will learn about the geography of their own state while opening their eyes to local pressures on wildlife and shrinking habitat. A Bald Eagle sighting in the winter is not uncommon and is, indeed, a special treat! This is one of Crow's Neck's most popular classes and we do it year 'round! (Class size is limited to 12 students and one adult chaperone.)
