Our Campus

Our Campus

Chewonki is a nonprofit organization based in Wiscasset, Maine, that inspires transformative growth, teaches appreciation and stewardship of the natural world, and challenges people to build thriving, sustainable communities throughout their lives.

Chewonki Elementary and Middle School is located on our 400-acre peninsula with Montsweag Creek along the western shore and Chewonki Creek and the Back River along the eastern shore.

Chewonki has classrooms in the Center for Environmental Education, along with the animal care center and aviary which are staffed by our Traveling Natural History educators.

Chewonki is a natural extension of our work and we are proud to provide academically rigorous, hands-on learning experiences for children in grades 1-8.

Not every classroom is in a room!

At Chewonki, we have put our commitment for sustainable living and renewable technologies into practice for decades.

Students get hands-on experience for the stewardship of natural systems and learn sustainable practices that inform a lifetime of behavior.

Chewonki Neck: A whole world of exploration.

Our campus is situated on a 400-acre peninsula in midcoast Maine, with three and a half miles of stunning rocky coastline.

Chewonki is nationally recognized as a model for sustainable management of natural resources.

The Center for Environmental Education

The Center for Environmental Education (CEE) is a modern facility located on in the center of Chewonki that houses the Elementary School, the Traveling Natural History Program and the Chewonki Outdoor Classsroom for Schools.

One of the most notable features of the CEE is Chapin Hall, our largest indoor meeting space, which includes a complete finback whale skeleton suspended from the ceiling.

Built on a Human Scale

While we take every opportunity make use of our outdoor spaces, our Elementary School classrooms are carefully designed support our academic work.

A Comfortable Place for Learning

Big windows, natural light and quiet views of nature help us create an ideal environment for learning and community engagement.
