Grades 5–12 & Adults | Multi-Day Trip
Explore the majestic coastal ecology of Maine.
Join us for a multi-day adventure along the coast of Maine as we explore the distinct tidal waterways of Maine. Using our fleet of canoes, we depart from Chewonki Neck in Wiscasset and set out to claim one of several locations in our extensive network of private island campsites.
Grades 4–8 | 3 Days, 2 Nights
A multi-day nature immersion program, for grades 4-8 where students and chaperones stay in our newly-renovated cabins and yurts
Chewonki Ecology Expedition is a 3-day, 2-night program that allows students to immerse themselves in the natural world. Field-based activities focus on key ecological concepts such as ecosystems, food webs, biodiversity, and conservation. Students apply observational skills, data collection, and inquiry-based thinking through hands-on investigations of local habitats including forests, ponds, and the rocky intertidal zone. This residential experience incorporates team-building exercises that strengthen both collaboration and personal growth for students and teachers alike.
Grades 5–9 | 4 Days, 3 Nights
A multi-day experience for students in grades 5-9, looking to enhance their camping and outdoor living skills with a tent-based experience
Each 4-day, 3-night basecamp takes place on our saltwater peninsular at one of several carefully prepared group campsites. Participants learn to set up their camp, sleep in tents, cook over an open fire, and enjoy the fun of outdoor adventures. With the forest and coast as their classroom, participants work with our team of educators to explore local ecology, engage in team-building challenges, and connect with sustainable living practices during a visit to our working farm. Our team tailors individual life science lessons to enhance the curriculum your students are learning at their home school.
