Registration for Huyck Preserve Summer Education Programs Is Now Open
|
Huyck Preserve summer education programs offer something for every student curious about nature and science! Younger students are immersed in the outdoors through hands-on science, exploration, and fun. High School students experience a significant ecological research project and learn from visiting scientists, Huyck Preserve staff, and college interns. We always sneak in time for fun too - with a swim, hike, or other activity.
