Keep curious young minds and busy young bodies active when school is closed with the Schuylkill Center Day Off Camp. Trained educators lead students grades K-6 on unique nature-themed explorations that take advantage of our science lab, Discovery Center, and 365 acres of beautiful wooded trails, streams, and ponds.
