Field Trips

A field trip to the Desert of Maine gives your students an experiential window into the ecology, geology, and history of this unique landmark—and, of course, a magical day exploring the dunes!

​

Pricing for a standard field trip is $12/student*, which includes a 45 minute interactive educational program followed by unstructured time to explore the dunes' wonders.

​

We generally host field trips seasonally from April-October, but exceptions are possible during the off-season. Find more information here or by contacting us at cae@desertofmaine.com

 

*Discounted pricing is available for qualifying school districts. 

Camp Visits

The Desert of Maine offers an exciting day of discovery for your summer camp! ​

​

Your campers will enjoy a fun, educational tour with a docent that includes activities in the historic farmhouse, a nature walk, time at the fossil dig and access to our one-of-a-kind natural playground. Last but not least, your campers will spend time in the Gemstone Village labyrinth hunting for gems! The cost is $12/child.
