Check Out our Virtual Programs, Activities and Resources

Because of Covid-19, many children no longer have access to formal educational opportunities or are participating in online classes at home.  In order to keep children engaged and learning or to supplement their current class work, Lacawac has developed a virtual learning center providing field trips, programs, activities, and resources.  It is our hope that children will grow and learn because of our Virtual Learning Center.

​Local Hiking Trails

Get Outside, Get Healthy! is a wellness program developed in conjunction with Wayne Memorial Hospital System to encourage people of all ages to discover the health benefits of spending time in nature. Participants can connect with nature through various hiking trails and facilities throughout Wayne and Pike Counties. ​​
