Field Trip FAQs:

Question: What is the difference between the Field Trip Inquiry Form and the Registration Form?
Answer: 
The Inquiry Form tells us what your field trip needs may be. The Registration Form is filled out once you know your field trip details, you are ready to secure your date, and you submit your deposit.  

Question: How are the field trip activities determined? Are they a la carte?
Answer:
O
ur field trip activities are carefully bundled for your educational and timing needs. You select which bundle of activities you want to experience.

Question: What if I am just getting started with my field trip planning? 
Answer: If you are in the beginning stage of planning, please provide us with your best ideas at this time in the Inquiry Form. We understand that things may change a little when you fill out the Registration Form and submit your deposit.

Question: Do I have to know our date, times, and other details right now? 
Answer: No, you can still be deciding your details and request our field trip information through the Inquiry Form. 

Question: If I know our preferred field trip now, can I request that you hold it for my group? 
Answer: If you know your details and provide them in the Inquiry Form, we can hold your date for up to 1-week, as long as that date is available when you submit your form. We need to know your activity selection, group size, grade(s), and arrival/departure times to hold your date. We will notify you within 3 days of receiving your Inquiry Form if your date is available. 

​Question: What happens after I submit our Inquiry Form?
Answer: 
We will reply to your Inquiry Request Form by letting you know if the date(s) and times are available (if you provided these), and we will send you directions about how to submit our online Registration Form and your Deposit, which is $150 or 50% of your total invoice amount, whichever amount is less for you.
