Lenape Living

Participants explore the history of the native people that live here in Pennsylvania. Students learn traditional uses of plants and animals as well as play Native American games.

 
Cooperative Games

Challenge yourself! Solving problems in a group can be hard, but definitely rewarding. This class teaches teamwork, problem solving and communication in a fun way. If you have a group that needs more cohesiveness, this is an excellent hands-on program.

 
Star Lab

Let our trained naturalist bring StarLab portable planetarium to your school. We begin the program with a slide show tour through our solar system and then go on to highlight seasonal constellations and their mythology. We offer three unique programs:

  • Night Sky Tour – Seasonal Tour of the Night Sky
