NEW! Program Guide!
Have you ever wanted to immerse your students in nature, but need some help facilitating or teaching those lessons? Contact our educators! We can bring a naturalist into your classroom to help your students understand nature, take your scouts on a hike to learn to identify trees or learn how to use a compass, come to your afterschool program for interactive activities, or partner with your homeschool cohort to play in nature!
Our educators are happy to facilitate these experiences, for FREE. Check out our 2024 Program Guide and contact us to schedule up to four (4) of our programs per year per classroom or organization. Some exceptions apply to our four program limit, typically for afterschool programming.
Outdoor Lending Library
Upon receiving a grant from the Community Foundation of Fayette County, MWA has created a library of outdoor gear and educational resources available to the public! This comprehensive and inclusive resource library is located in MWA’s office, and items will be available to be checked out during our office hours.
Educator Resources
We are also working to provide educators (from homeschool to public school!) with more resources to help them teach kids about nature! Stay tuned in our events for affordable educator trainings, teaching resources, and more ways to get kids involved in outdoor learning!
Our Education Programs at Work!
Family Field Day at Laurel Hill State Park

Using funds from the DEP's generous education grant, we provided local families with a fun day of outdoor learning and recreation on the shores of Laurel Hill Lake!
