Schedule a visit for your group
We welcome groups for campus visits too! If your group is more than the size of a
family or is made up of multiple potential future Nanooks, we鈥檇 love to plan a group
visit for you. If your group is mostly family members, check out our individual in-person
campus visit page.
The more the merrier

What you鈥檒l do
