School Trips

At Camp Creek Run we offer environmental education field trips to schools for grades K-12.  Educators can choose from one of our many themes, or we can work with teachers to design a program tied directly to your classroom's curriculum. Programs will be developmentally and grade-level appropriate, and will include elements of science, nature observation, and outdoor adventure.

​

Morning programs are provided, and they are 1.5 hours long.  After programming, your group is welcome to stay and picnic at camp under your school's supervision.  Groups must leave camp by 1:30 pm (unless trip is scheduled for Thursday, in which case students must leave by 1pm). 

​

Teachers will choose a trip date, as well as a rain date since we our programs are held entirely outdoors. No trips may be scheduled on Tuesdays. Trips scheduled for Thursdays must leave camp by 1:00 pm. 

 

The cost of a trip to Camp Creek Run is $10 per child, and there is no charge for chaperones or teachers.  Our minimum group size is 10, and we can accommodate up to 100 students.
