Educational Experiences
Cuyahoga Valley National Park provides an ideal setting for a variety of educational experiences. Whether your students spend a week at the Cuyahoga Valley Environmental Education Center, a few hours on a geology program, or explore transportation history aboard the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad, the hands-on educational opportunity in a natural environment is especially memorable.

Cuyahoga Valley National Park's primary partner in educational programming is Cuyahoga Valley National Park Association (CVNPA) through the operation of the Cuyahoga Valley Environmental Education Center. National Park staff and CVNPA staff work together to offer a variety of day and residential programming.
