• There is a 75 participant minimum or $750 minimum for a field trip. Small groups may combine with other groups to meet the minimum requirements. Participants will be broken up into classes or groups of 25. The number of activities will be directly proportional to the number of groups.

• If there are 200 participants or more, the field trip will require two days to complete, otherwise it will be conducted in a single day. There is a maximum of 7 activities in a single day. If your total number of participants on one day is small enough (i.e. 150 or smaller) you may choose to have additional activities conducted for a fee.




• For Example:

• 75 participants are divided into 3 classes/groups. There are 5 activities in the field trip: 3 automatic stations and 2 other stations chosen by the field trip coordinator. Then, if you prefer, 1 or 2 more activities may be selected for an additional fee.
