Field Trip Programs at Hitchcock Center or Off-site
We welcome classrooms to visit our beautiful Living Building and our Nature Play and Learning Places Sustainable Site through a variety of hands-on, inquiry-based field trips. For a more in-depth ecological program, consider a three-season or three-part series, which can be tailored to your curriculum. Discounts are given for series and multiple programs. Coordinating activities with other classes in your school may reduce travel fees.
All field trips address the Massachusetts Curriculum Standards for Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (S.T.E.M.) which are provided for each field trip below.
*For best availability, field trip requests should be made three or more months in advance. Availability after the annual April school vacation week is extremely limited. We can make tentative reservations up to a year in advance.
Students will learn about the science of entomology through a live insect lab, and will collect insects, and their non-insect relatives, in various habitats on our trails.
