Individuals will have opportunities to discover the exciting world of science. Recreation Unlimited is home to a rich and diverse spectrum of surroundings, which enhances the environmental experience. Our four major ecosystems include: an Ohio prairie, the woodlands habitat, the stream environment, and a spectacular view of our solar system and beyond. Recreation Unlimited has trained facilitators in the nationally renowned programs Project Learning Tree, Project Wild, and Project Wet.
