During the summer the Center offers extensive camping programs for children of all ages. During the winter school vacation, the Environmental Education Center offers a sleepover Winter Camp. Campers ages 8-12 explore the forest on snowshoes, tap trees for maple syrup, investigate frozen ponds, and follow animal tracks. During April school vacation week, Woodvale Farm offers a day camp for ages 5-11.
Campers prepare the gardens, care for farm animals, and explore forests and wetlands.
For over 30 years the University of Rhode Island's W. Alton Jones Campus has been teaching children about the environment. Each year over 10,000 school-age children participate in ecology, team building, social science, adventure, and farm field trip programs. Overnight accommodations allow students and teachers to spend two to five days learning in the W. Alton Jones Outdoor Classroom. Woodvale Farm Elementary Schools can arrange for a field trip to include a visit the W. Alton Jones Campus's nineteenth century Woodvale Farm. The working Farm has sheep, goats, pigs, chickens, and ducks and brings science and social studies programs to life.
