Riverbend's Service Learning Add On
Description
This experience has been designed for middle school and high school students to spend more time getting to know Riverbend's preserve. Students meet with Riverbend's Director of Conservation to learn about their service learning assignments. The service projects will vary depending on the time of the year and the needs of the preserve. If you select this addition, the field trip day runs from 9am-2pm, but can be customized to suit the needs of your group. The cost for this add on is $400 for up to 50 students and $8 per additional student up to 72 students. Please indicate you are interested in this in the notes section of your field trip registration.
Offered At
Riverbend Environmental Education Center
Riverbend Environmental Education Center sits on a 30-acre preserve in Gladwyne, Pennsylvania. We teach environmental principles to children in Southeastern Pennsylvania through a direct connection with nature, inspiring respect for our natural world, and action as aware, responsible and caring citizens. All of our programs focus on engaging children in the practices of science, including asking questions, making observations, and collecting data.
Some of our programs take place at neighboring preserves located within a short drive of Riverbend's main campus.
Our programs typically begin at 10AM, but we are happy to be flexible to meet our schools' needs. If you would like your program to begin earlier or later, please let us know!
Please note- The price for a typical Riverbend field trip is $800 for up to 50 students. The cost is $16 for each additional student up to 72 students. Certain field trip programs are priced differently; please check the program description for pricing. For larger or smaller groups contact Suzanne Safran ssafran@riverbendeec.org.
