Lacawac offers standards-aligned programs designed to connect students with the natural world and bring STEM to life through the lens of nature. Our environmental educators are trained to deliver developmentally appropriate programming that is relevant to children from all backgrounds and abilities.

Students will learn through participating in hands-on, inquiry-based activities at stations around Lacawac's 550-acre preserve. Sites to explore include our pond, lake, meadow, and forest. With the help of Lacawac Educators, your students will learn to navigate the natural world and investigate environmental concepts, building from their own curiosity.

PLEASE NOTE:
​
​As an outdoor education facility, Lacawac closely monitors weather conditions. Student safety is our top priority.  Lacawac programs run rain or shine. However, in the event of unsafe weather conditions, staff will determine if a program can safely operate and notify schools of cancellations by 7:30 on the morning of the program. In the event that a program is canceled due to weather, we will work with schools to reschedule within the same calendar year.  

All other cancellation/reschedule requests must be received in writing at least 3 weeks before the originally scheduled program date. Lacawac cannot provide refunds for canceled programs.
