First Day of Wild Wanderers

September 3 @ 2:00 pm - 6:00 pm

Five children kneeling on the ground drawing with crayons.

The Schuylkill Center’s Wild Wanderers is an outdoor after-school program for children grades K-6. We offer after-school care until 6:00 pm which may include nature hikes, group activities, unstructured free play, and outdoor exploration. We believe that continued access to nature, in both structured and unstructured environments, can be as important to a child’s growth and development as time spent in a classroom. Our Wild Wanderers learn about the natural beauty of our 365 acres of forest, streams, ponds and meadows.
