About Us:
Since 1897, Christodora's programs have helped NYC students from underserved communities grow and thrive by forming deep connections with the community and the natural world. Our "Nature, Learning, Leadership" environmental science and youth development programs operate in all season - in public school classrooms, in city parks and at our own wilderness camps. Christodora students discover their academic and personal passions and develop 21st century skills including team-building, perseverance, leadership and environmental stewardship.
