We invite you to join us, see students learning massage technique, get a glimpse
at our lively hands-on science classes and explore the fields and wooded paths of
our campus. You will have opportunities to speak with staff about the program, ask
questions, and get an overall feel for the “FLSM experience.”
Tours last approximately an hour and a half, are offered Monday through Friday, occasional Saturdays,
and can be scheduled at your convenience.
