Since the Haw River Program was established, groups from many areas have participated in HARP's engaging form of environmental education.
HARP makes use of multiple indoor classrooms for lab exercises and presentations as well as two outdoor amphitheaters, hiking trails, a six-acre lake and an expansive boardwalk that meanders through pristine wetlands. All of this support's HARP's commitment to immersing students in an engaging, informative, entertaining and inspiring curriculum.
Given below are pictures of just some of the past groups and their thoughts about the experience.
