Hi,

I remember going to a camp as a child called "College Settlement Camp," north of philadelphia.  I still remember it vividly, even though I attended it 20 years ago.  (http://www.collegesettlement.org)  Delaware Nature Society, at Ashland, also has a lodge that can provide overnight experiences.

I have also worked at these overnight sites:  www.driftwoodee.org<http://www.driftwoodee.org> (Driftwood Environmental Education Center) and http://www.uri.edu/ajc/eec/ (University of Rhode Island's W. Alton Jones Center).  I know neither of these are in PA, but have well established programs, that may be able to help.

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
