Now booking field trips, group visits and tours for all ages and abilities!
Whether you’re looking for a genuine learning experience or a fun and different outdoor activity, Nowashe Village a great place for your next outing. We offer customizable programs for groups of all sizes, developing a rotational schedule for subgroups when necessary. With a wide range of programs to offer from social studies to STEM, you’ll also find that Nowashe is a place you can visit several times, each with a different learning goal in mind.
Our educators are focused on offering an enriching multidisciplinary and multi-sensory learning environment. Here, artifacts and other items of material culture come alive and are featured in real-time.
Nowashe Village was designed to create several natural learning classrooms, some featuring cedar benches or stumps for sitting, separated enough from each other that several learning stations can be taking place simultaneously. The Village is as ADA accessible as possible, and is regularly sprayed for ticks and mosquitos.
Core elementary school programs are aligned with Connecticut Social Studies Frameworks and we also work with Boy Scouts of America, Girl Scouts of the USA, homeschool groups and senior centers. Instructional add-ons, such as jewelry crafting, can enhance a visit. We also offer outreach programs at your library, museum, school or residential center.
