Field Trip FAQs
View our frequently asked field trip questions below!
How much does a field trip cost?
Our field trips are free! Thanks to generous grant support for our field trip program from the Helen and Will Webster Family Foundation, we offer free transportation to and from our field trip locations.
How long do field trips typically last?
Our field trips generally last 1.5-2 hours. The service field trips can be anywhere from 2-3 hours. We are able to combine a native plants field trip to include a service component if desired. These times may vary and can be discussed on an individual basis with the teacher prior to the field trip.
What should my students bring to the field trip?
Most important: bring water! Our field trips take place outside and involve some walking, so water and sturdy shoes are necessary, and a hat is recommended. Our field trips at Rosemont end around lunchtime, so you can bring lunch as well.
How many students and adults can attend a field trip?
We allow a maximum of 40 students. If there are more than 40 students, we can split the field trip into two separate days. We require at least one adult chaperone for every 10 students.
Where can we eat lunch after the field trip?
If you have booked a field trip to Rosemont Preserve, you can eat lunch at Two-Strike Park, which is just a short walk from the preserve.
What grade levels can attend the field trips?
We welcome all grade levels, K-12, to participate in our field trips. Our field trip educational programs and service activities can be tailored for all grade levels.
Who can I contact if I have additional questions?
