We are incredibly grateful to our Sherwood Elementary friends for their generous Scholastic Big Books donation! The Hartley OEC staff is thrilled to use these wonderful resources to develop and expand our day trip programs for K-3 students. #HartleyOEC #OurStory


Students from Chesaning Middle School dissected owl pellets as part of a special program. They used a bone chart to ID what they found, most of which were from mice. #HartleyOEC



Hartley staff spotted baby #2 this week! Fawns will spend most of their time bedded down, making it harder for predators to find them. Mothers will leave the fawns for many hours as their scent glands develop but are often no further than 100 yards away. #HartleyOEC


It's baby season at Hartley! These Canadian goslings will leave the nest 24 hours after hatching, following their parents. They can swim right away and will get their flying feathers in less than two months. #HartleyOEC


This group of students from Owosso made a fantastic shelter as part of their survival class. #HartleyOEC #SISD


We LOVE it when our friends share their artwork with us! Especially when they have a wonderful message like this one, “Hartley taught me things school couldn’t.” That’s the Hartley experience!#OurStory #HartleyOEC


Registration for the 2024-2025 academic year is underway, offering schools the chance to secure their spot for an unforgettable outdoor learning experience at Hartley Outdoor Education Center. Whether it’s experiencing Pioneer Living at the Schroeder cabin, taking part in our Outdoor Survival session, or the wonders of Wetland Ecology, we’re eager to provide students with transformative experiences that will leave a lasting impact.
