Register for our virtual week of learning, the St. Croix Youth Summit, happening on April 22 -25th.
Our virtual week of learning, St. Croix Youth Summit, returns again April 22 -25th. Each year this partnership with Saint Croix National Scenic Riverway (NPS) brings virtual learning into the classroom for elementary and middle school students about Riverway biology, climate change, natural resources, and more. And thanks to our generous supporters and sponsors of our mission, we are able to keep it FREE to all.
2025 St. Croix Youth Summit is brought to you in partnership with the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway, and with funding from the National Park Foundation.
