Schuylkill Center for Environmental Education's Outdoor Adventure Treks
Personal Growth and Environmental Stewardship through exploration and adventure
The Schuylkill Center's Outdoor Adventure Treks will challenge pre-teens and teens to improve their outdoor knowledge and skills in a comfortable and supportive setting. Participants in our programs learn more about themselves strengthen their self-confidence while exploring the outdoors in unique and fun ways. Each trip begins on The Schuylkill Center's grounds that include 350 acres of varied habitats. Participants get to know each other and then embark on 3 or 5 day outings, depending on age group. These outings are set in State Parks and National Forests along the east coast. Days are spent exploring the area and participating in organized activities while evenings are spent by the campfire reminiscing on the days adventures. Campers experience a wide variety of activities and ecosystems as each week's destination and focus are changed. Activities and skills learned include rock climbing, hiking, canoeing, kayaking, whitewater rafting, backpacking, caving, mountain biking, fly fishing and more.
Some of our program themes:
Adventure Camp: Secrets of the Susquehanna
Adventure Camp: Wolf Watchers
Adventure Trek: Climbing & Caving in the Shawangunks of New York

Travel for Teens
Travel for Teens offers insider access unattainable as a tourist in Europe, Thailand, Southern Africa, the United States, Costa Rica, Australia, and New Zealand, and Fiji. We visit the best of the mainstream attractions while offering the opportunity to explore the culture from a less ‘touristy' perspective. We interact with our host cultures, taking cooking and dance lessons, performing valuable service work to help local communities, and conversing with the people who have spent their lives living in the places we journey to.
