Destination #3 - McKnight Outdoor Education Center

Over the past several decades, the McKnight Outdoor Education Center has become a treasured retreat within Columbus Parks and Recreation. Located in a peaceful woodland setting within the city, the center offers hands-on learning experiences and outdoor adventures that make it a perfect destination for CCS families.
