Located in the heart of central Pennsylvania, Shaver’s Creek has been connecting people to people and people to nature since 1976. We provide educational and recreational opportunities for families, schools, corporate groups, and Penn State students. Come hike a trail, see live animals up close, learn about conservation, and enjoy our programs.
Shaver’s Creek is committed to extending Penn State’s Outreach mission of instruction, service, and research. Through quality programs, we teach, model, and provide the knowledge, values, skills, experiences, and dedication that enable individuals and communities to achieve and maintain harmony between human activities and the natural systems that support all living species.

If you've been to our annual Maple Harvest Festival, you've surely met the passionate interpreters that run the sugaring stations. But did you know that all of these experts are Penn State students?
Each spring, students from all majors earn credit through our immersive, hands-on course Interpreting Maple Sugaring to Families (AEE 297). Throughout the semester, students practice leadership, communication, and interpretation skills before their class culminates in our annual community festival where you'll meet these students on the maple trail, teaching families how to turn sap into syrup! 🍁
If you or someone you know is looking to get outdoors this spring semester in one of the most unique and engaging courses at Penn State, visit the link below. It's not too late to register!
