Join us for Exploration, an extraordinary fall celebration at the beautiful Cuyahoga Valley Environmental Education Center! As a guest, you are invited to explore the education center, meander through the campus, and immerse yourself in camper experiences.
Your ticket raises funds to ensure that every student – regardless of family resources – can engage with nature in their backyard, their community, and their national park to inspire lifelong environmental stewardship.
This year’s menu will feature local, seasonal, and sustainable cuisine. Enjoy an extraordinary dinner that includes cocktails, appetizers throughout the campus, a decadent dessert, and an open bar. More details to come as the menu is finalized.
