The Schoodic Education Adventure program is led by park education rangers and allows students to become citizen scientists, while building science literacy and enthusiasm. The low-cost program is aligned with the Next Generation Science Standards and integrated across the Common Core, including programs in math, science, social studies, language arts, physical education, health, and art.
With matching funds from L.L.Bean, Friends of Acadia provides grants to the Schoodic Institute for student scholarships and transportation stipends for public schools interested in bringing their students to the Schoodic Education Adventure. Our funds also support Acadia National Park education rangers and stipends for the teaching interns who are developing their field-based teaching methods by working side-by-side with National Park Service educators and classroom teachers.
Reservations to attend the Schoodic Education Adventure are accepted January through mid-February with consideration for remaining open spots through June. The application process is ongoing, but program reservations fill quickly. For more information on the Schoodic Education Adventure program, apply with the link below.
