Team building, conflict management, and living history are only a few of our experiential programs. We create awareness and appreciation of the outdoors through a variety of environmental experiences that focus on ecology and human impact. Environmental education at Wyman can include several shorter programs like aquatic ecology and weather investigation. Designed by the Institute for Earth Education, this four to five day residential camp program teaches seven key ecology concepts along with activities that promote living in harmony with the natural world. Wyman Center staff members collaborate with school faculty to custom design each camp program.
Many schools choose overnight trips lasting two to five days at camp.
During residential programs, the students can experience traditional evening activities like hayrides and campfires. Educational programs like astronomy and night hikes give children the opportunity to learn about the wonders of nighttime in a natural setting. Schools with limited time and resources may find that day trips to camp satisfy their needs. Others opt for outreach programs where staff lead fun and educational programs in their school yard or classroom.
