Westmoreland Sanctuary has over 30 educational programs to offer throughout the year to school and scouts groups. Programs can also be scheduled in the summer for various camp programs. All programs are on a first call - first scheduled arrangement. Programs fill rapidly ( some up to a year in advance) so call early to select a date (s). Our program philosophy is hands-on and fun. Each program generally lasts for about 1 hour. Multiple programs can be booked for 1 visit, but please allow enough time for each program when booking your trip. Dress appropriately for the weather and possible ticks. We recommend long pants and outdoor shoes (NO open toe shoes). WARNING! YOU MAY GET DIRTY. The staff of Westmoreland are instructors, not chaperones! Please have enough adult supervision for your group with a recommended ratio of 1 chaperone to every 5 children. Please follow the links to our age appropriate program pages. **All programs can be tailored up to any age group, but can not tailored down for children younger than the age specified.
