Nature's Classroom

Nature's Classroom is a residential environmental education program based at fourteen sites in New England and New York. We serve students from kindergarten through 8th grade. Nature's Classroom provides hand-on, experiential learning opportunities utilizing natural resources at each of our facilities. After spending a week at Nature's Classroom living and learning together, students develop a sense of community, a confidence in themselves, and an appreciation for others and the environment that carries over to the school community. Over 750,000 children and 450 schools have come to view Nature's Classroom as a valuable academic experience, with an emphasis on scientific inquiry and critical thinking. We have been recognized for excellence by the National Science Teacher's Association, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and the State of Connecticut. Our programming is tied to the Common Core curriculum, Next Generation Science Standards, and encompasses STEM learning. We have been offering the very best in environmental and experiential education for 40 years.
