We Can Introduce
Your Youth Group To Cultural and
Environmental Educational Exchange Through Hostelling! How Our Mission Serves the Regional Community The demands of a growing Global Community requires preparing American Youth to play an active and positive role in it’s transformation. Last year our Youth Hostel Program serviced over 3,800 children between the ages of 5-18, from the Tri-State region and beyond. These groups included schools, boys and girl scouts, at risk youth programs, upward bound and college access programs, churches and other community youth organizations. They rely on us to provide a safe affordable space for positive cultural and green educational experiences. Please consider supporting the continuation of this wonderful Legacy in our region
How Youth Benefit
“Since the 1980’s our school has participated in a partnership with the American Youth Hostels and king’s Gap Environmental Center. Our environmental education, based at Iron Master’s Mansion Youth Hostel, provides opportunities for our students to learn how to interact harmoniously with each other and the natural world. Going to the youth hostel is one of the most memorable experiences of past and present students. It is our hope that this historic site can be maintained and improved to ensure a wonderful place for students to stay for years to come.” - M. Kratzer, St. Stephens Episcopal School, Harrisburg, PA. “If it were not for Iron Master’s Mansion, my students would have never have seen Gettysburg because there is no where affordable to stay or eat. As city kids, they would not know the joys of hiking the beautiful Appalachian Trail. They would not have experienced what slaves must have felt descending into the hidden room to hide from bounty hunters.” M H. Rogers, Congressional Out Reach Program, Abington School District, PA
