[PAEE] Environmental education centers

 Al,
I don't know the specifics of the site or programs, but you might want to investigate.  McKeever offers overnight programs that many schools use. www.mckeever.org

Another place that does this, although not totally environmental it Outdoor Odyssey http://www.outdoorodyssey.org/.

Dear list members,



I approached a local school administrator about the possibility of building an environmental education lodge. I was asked to get some information about some similar programs currently in operation.



I remember a lodge at Penn State in the early 1970’s. Students (elementary-middle/high school) would camp at the lodge at night (maybe 2 or 3 nights) and take nature lessons/classes during the day. Meals were provided.



I have no idea if anything like that is around now. This list seemed like the best place to get some help and advice. I would appreciate any available information or advice you could provide to help get this project off the ground.





Thanks!



Al Bobinas
