Program Policies

​

Weather: Programs are taught outdoors and run drizzle or shine. Should your program need to be cancelled due to heavy rains, high winds, extreme heat, snow, etc., we will do our best to reschedule. We are unable to reserve rain or snow dates in advance.

Preschool: Max 15 students per class

Elementary School: Max 25 students per class​

• Max of 4 parent chaperones (in addition to the teacher(s) and class aides).

Home School: Max 20 students per group (Max of 40 people total with adults, toddlers) 

​

Teachers, Chaperones, & Parents: are expected to monitor student behavior during the visit. This includes modeling appropriate behavior such as staying on the trail, staying with the group, and not using personal cell phones or engaging in side conversations during a program.

 

​Attire: Students and chaperones should dress for the weather with appropriate footwear (closed-toed) for walking on trails. Layers are recommended to regulate temperature.
