Do you remember your favorite field trip from childhood? When children visit us on a field trip, we often hear, “This was the best day of my life!”. For many Maine children, a school trip is the only chance they get to visit CMTM. And it’s thanks to you that these visits are possible.

See what a field trip to CMTM is really like as we followed Ms. Bergman’s 3rd grade class from the East End Community School on their recent visit. As Ms. Bergman says, a visit to CMTM “brings the learning to another level.”

We need your help today to ensure that CMTM can stay accessible to every school. Thank you for giving to our community’s children! 💛
