The Lake Hopatcong Foundation is proud to provide award-winning environmental field trips in the spring for 4th and 5th grades and the fall for high school students. During their visit, students learn about Lake Hopatcong, lake ecology, and how to protect our water resources through hands-on lessons aboard the Floating Classroom, in the Musconetcong River, and around Hopatcong State Park.

Students experience four activity sessions led by Lake Hopatcong Foundation staff and volunteers.
Field trips are held rain or shine from 9:30 am to 1:30 pm in May and June at Hopatcong State Park in Landing, NJ. Groups of up to 140 (including chaperones) can be accommodated in a day. Schools with less than 105 participants may be scheduled with other schools to fill the day. Each activity session will contain students from only one school. Pricing for 2025 is $20 per person.
