Program Fees

Student and Youth Program Fees

Program scholarships are available! There are several funding sources that allow us to offer programs at reduced or no cost for your school or youth group, but this funding varies from year to year. Most school and youth groups only pay $5 per youth participant, with the remainder of our operating expenses subsidized by the Pennsylvania Education Improvement Tax Credit program and other grants.

Canoe-Based Programs

On-the-water canoe programs to investigate and explore local waterways and reservoirs charge an additional $100 to help us replace equipment as needed and cover other yearly costs, such as boat registration and trailer registration. Our rig has eight canoes, which can accommodate up to 24 participants at a time. We can work with larger groups by splitting them in half for onshore and canoe activity rotations.
