The Monroe County Conservation District’s Kettle Creek Environmental Education Center provides year-round environmental education programs for people of all ages. Our Center is dedicated to fostering community awareness through first-hand experience of the natural environment of the Poconos.
Since its inception in 1976 our Center has offered a wide range of programs and has always striven to improve and expand its offerings and promote Conservation through Education.
Programs: Our hands-on approach to environmental education results in programs designed for people of all ages and abilities. We offer a wide variety of environmental topics and experiences and are happy to discuss the program needs of groups or individuals alike.
Camps: Our camps are offered for children and young adults, ages 7-through 18. We provide day camps as well as residential camps with all of them focusing on the natural environment.
Facilities: We maintain and manage three outdoor learning areas; The 166 acre Kettle Creek Wildlife Sanctuary, The 1000+ acre Tannersville Cranberry Bog, and the Messing Nature Center site. Each site contains unique natural features as well as trails and outdoor learning areas.
Special Events: We offer special Environmental Education events throughout the year for groups and individuals. These fun-filled activities allow us to celebrate our local environment.
Media Gallery: The EE Center Staff is constantly working to capture the natural world on video and through photographs from strategically placed cameras. These photos reveal a little about our local fauna and flora.
Gift Shop: Our unique gift shop provides customers with the opportunity to purchase books, bird feeders, birdseed, and other nature oriented items throughout the year. All proceeds benefit the environmental education programs.
