SMOKEY HOUSE CENTER

34 Years of Youth, Land and Learning

Since 1974, middle and high school students have come to our 5,000 acre outdoor classroom, to do farming, forestry, and ecological research -- learning in the process, science, math, ecology, communications, reading, writing, problem-solving, critical thinking, responsibility and teamwork. 

We offer two applied-learning programs -- our Youthwork Program for disadvantaged high school students and our Environmental Field Studies Program for mainstream middle and high school students.  Students take an active role in this learning community, working cooperatively and respectfully to set goals and solve problems.
