Constitution Marsh works with school groups of all ages, from kindergarten to graduate school. We offer multi-session on-site programs designed for groups of 15-25 students, but we are happy to make accommodations for slightly smaller or larger groups.  

All of our classes use experiential and inquiry-based methods that allow students to develop a deeper understanding and appreciation for the natural world around them.
