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.

Other Program Fees

Canoe-Based Programs

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