Day Programs

Explore the colors, sounds, and smells of our intriguing freshwater swamp in the morning; examine the significance of Native American artifacts for an afternoon; or spend a full day aboard historic work boats discovering the ecology of the Chesapeake Bay. First-grade students may attend a morning program focused on outdoor ecosystem exploration. A group of school teachers may participate in a weekend in-service training ecological field study. Echo Hill Outdoor School offers a wide variety of full and half day programs to groups of all ages-early elementary to adult.

Day programs are designed to meet specific educational goals, and they generally consist of one or two classes. Attending groups may focus on one curriculum area, or they may choose a limited combination of curriculum areas. Many groups choose Bay and aquatic ecology classes. Service projects and off-site classes also can be incorporated into day programs.

Availability

Day programs are available to groups of 6 to 60 or more participants from March 1 through December 15.
