Pennsylvania State Parks introduce “Remake Learning Days”
HARRISBURG, Pa. (WHTM) – There will be more than two dozen educational programs at state parks this month as part of “Remake Learning Days,” the state Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) announced Wednesday.
Thirty programs at 24 state parks are slated from May 2 to May 22.
DCNR says the programs are in support of Remake Learning Days, “a global learning festival that brings children, families, community cultural centers, and educators together to share the benefits of collaborative, hands-on learning.”
“Our state parks and forests are open for healthy outdoor adventures in all four seasons, and we are hopeful that people use Remake Learning Days to explore what our public lands have to offer,” Secretary Cindy Adams Dunn said. “Thank you to the DCNR staff who make these events and programs interactive and enjoyable for visitors, new and old alike.”
The events follow six learning themes: Arts, Maker, Outdoor Learning, Science, Technology, and Youth Voice.
“We are excited to implement Remake Learning Days at Pennsylvania state parks and I am confident that our amazing environmental educators and park staff will help our young people grow building a connection to natural spaces,” State Parks Director John Hallas said.
Most events are free and open to kids of all ages.
Midstate state parks participating this year include:
Gifford Pinchot State Park
Kings Gap Environmental Education Center
Little Buffalo State Park
Pine Grove Furnace State Park
Susquehannock State Park
Swatara State Park
