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. ***

Do your students still PLAY outside?
Living in our modern urban society makes us unprepared to face the dangers of cold, heat, hunger, and thirst in the natural world. Students learn skills for increasing their ability to survive in the wild. Among the topics covered are water collecting, identifying native edible plants, and discovering what to bring on an adventure in the woods. After learning the best ways to make a fire, students will get to test their fire building skills. Additionally, students attack the problem of sheltering themselves from an upcoming storm by constructing their own debris shelter in the woods. (...and solve Crow's Neck's over-flow housing problems - ha!)
