School Program at Sargent Center

Attention 5th–8th grade classrooms—

You’re invited to scenic New Hampshire for an adventure in outdoor learning.

Every year, over 40 schools and 3,000 students, parents, and teachers join us for School Program at Sargent Center. In fact, overnight stays in our woodland cabins, cozy meals at Northern Lodge, and fun in the great outdoors are a New England school tradition—we’ve been hosting innovative outdoor education and adventure programs for schools since 1950:

Our 700 acres of forest, pond, meadow, river, and bog communities are a living laboratory where students and teachers discover the wonders of ecology and geology that simply can’t be found in books
Our adventure facilities, such as high ropes courses and climbing walls, present extraordinary opportunities for individual growth and teamwork
Our expert instructors are here to guide the way, helping students gain a powerful sense of connection with the natural environment, and with each other
