SCHOOL programs

MALT's education programs provide an experience that not only gives your child the opportunity to explore freely and adventure in the outdoors, but works to create a land ethic where respect for nature and other living beings are of the utmost importance. We spend all our time on MALT’s conserved lands and Middlebury Town Forests. Sign your kiddo(s) up and help them get in touch with their wild side as they bolster their classroom learning.

MALT Members receive discounts on all youth programming including afterschool, vacation camps, and summer camps. Become a member today!
