Lacawac offers field trips for special needs groups designed to provide a welcoming, supportive, and accessible outdoor learning experience for students of all ages. Guided by skilled environmental educators, these programs are thoughtfully adapted to the unique needs, abilities, and goals of each group, ensuring every participant feels safe, included, and engaged.
Through purposeful interaction with nature, students enjoy hands-on learning, sensory-based exploration, and activities that encourage movement, curiosity, and confidence building. These experiences support fine and gross motor skill development while fostering meaningful connections with the natural world, helping each participant discover their strengths in a comfortable and empowering environment.

Weather & Cancellation Policies
As an outdoor education facility, Lacawac closely monitors weather conditions, with student safety being our top priority. Lacawac’s programs run rain or shine; however, in the event of unsafe weather conditions, staff will determine if a program can safely operate and will notify schools of cancellations by 7:30 on the day 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 cancellations or rescheduling requests must be submitted in writing at least three weeks prior to the scheduled program date. Please note that Lacawac cannot provide refunds for canceled programs.
