Discovery Pathways provides free, hands-on environmental education for K–12 students through school field trips and recreation center programs across Philadelphia. Programs are aligned with school curriculum and state standards, and combine nature exploration, watershed science, teamwork, and healthy outdoor movement.

For many students, these trips are their first experience learning outdoors. Activities can include fishing, boating, hands-on science, nature exploration, team building, and environmental learning, with lessons adapted by age group and learning level.
