Memories of Exploration 2024

At last year’s Exploration, we welcomed autumn together at the beautiful Cuyahoga Valley Environmental Education Center (CVEEC). Guests explored the campus, immersed in the sights and sounds of nature. Along the way, they met with CVEEC staff and learned about programs and activities students experience when they visit. Seasonal appetizers, a gourmet dinner and dessert, and live music were enjoyed by all. It was an extraordinary evening full of good company and good cheer, all in support of CVEEC’s mission to connect children to nature and inspire the next generation of environmental stewards. 

About the Cuyahoga Valley Environmental Education Center (CVEEC)

For over 30 years, the CVEEC has provided children with quality education and all of the fun that an outdoor learning center experience offers. From scientific exploration of the Cuyahoga River to singing around a campfire, a generation of children have enjoyed what they often describe years later as their “best week of school.” Over 30,000 children have benefitted from the overnight program and over 200,000 from day programs. Your support makes this possible for many children whose families could not otherwise afford these experiences.
