Frost Valley is an educational and recreational facility deep in the heart of the Catskill Mountains. From September to June, Frost Valley offers a unique Environmental Education program to schools from the Tri-State metropolitan area and from elsewhere in the Northeast. Environmental Education introduces students to the wealth and splendor of the natural world --epitomized by our 6,000 acres of forests, lakes, tumbling streams and scenic trails-and teaches them respect for its inherent fragility. 

 

The program is designed to complement a scholastic curriculum, to provide students with hands-on experience of the natural sciences, and to challenge their physical, social and cognitive skills. 

 

The program is for all grades K-12. It runs throughout the school year (including winter) and comprised of three, four or five-day resident courses. Frost Valley can cater to groups of any size from 10 to 400 and welcomes students of all backgrounds and physical abilities. An average of 13,500 students and their teachers visit every year.
