In-Person Field Trips:

Join us in the gallery as we explore Nanaimo’s past with a variety of programs, suitable for learners aged 5-18!

A homeschooling group, like ConnectED, or a homeschooling network of at least 8 learners can book any of our in-person programs! See more info on the main school programs page or contact Steph at program@nanaimomuseum.ca. 

Masks are strongly recommended for all learners, educators, and guests aged 5 and up. We highly recommend masks for younger guests, as the Museum is a public and tourist attraction. Hand hygiene will be maintained by the students, teachers, guests, and staff members throughout your visit.  

Public Health Orders are changing frequently. Requirements and availability of in-person school visits are subject to change. We will be in touch to update you as needed.  

Individual learners can register for home- and distance-learner-specific program sessions, scheduled throughout the year.
