General Programs

The Watershed Institute welcomes more than 10,000 children and adult visitors annually. Whether you and your family join us for hike or a workshop, Watershed Educators will inspire an appreciation of the wonders of nature and strengthen your understanding of how our environment works, all while having fun outside!

 

Inside the Watershed Center, parents and children can explore our hands-on exhibits and collection of small animals. We also collaborate with other non-profit organizations in our area to offer hikes and activities throughout the year.

Dig into arts and crafts, messy experiments in our lab, and attend our festivals for clean water games and activities for all ages. The Watershed Center is an inclusive, accessible building with a smoke free campus, bike parking, and direct trail access. We hope to see you here!
