                                                                              We believe that all children need to safely interact with the natural environment for healthy development. Our engaging, interactive learning programs are built on this principle. One of the primary goals of HRVEEI is to show even our youngest visitors that the river is part of a complex ecosystem that nurtures an amazing diversity of living things, including people.

By creating interdisciplinary programs that meet the New York State Department of Education standards for science, social studies, math, art and English language arts, HRVEEI educators help animate important concepts that many teachers have introduced in their own classrooms.

Regardless of class age or educational objective, all of our programs are designed to make learning fun, utilizing interactive techniques and small class size to ensure participation

All our staff members are trained educators with specialized degrees in fields such as marine biology, psychobiology, environmental studies, and educational technology.
