Basic Field Trip
Service Description
Our basic field trip option includes an orientation presentation, a Safetyville presentation from a sheriff’s deputy, and discovery in the museum. Field Trip Info at a Glance You will be invoiced upon booking your field trip, and invoices can be adjusted up until the day of your visit. Final payment, along with your confirmed student and chaperone count, is due on the day of the trip. Please note that once a check is written, no refunds will be issued for absent students. Museum memberships do not apply to field trips—everyone attending must pay the field trip rate. If you need to cancel, please email cschorr@bccm.info at least 24 hours in advance. Lunch is not included, but groups are welcome to eat outside after their trip—weather permitting. Please have a backup plan in case of bad weather. Field trips are scheduled in two-hour periods. Please arrive on time. Late arrivals will still end at the originally scheduled time. Visiting chaperones, siblings, and non-staff adults pay the same rate as students (PLUS TAX) and must check in and pay at the front desk. We recommend a 1:8 adult-to-student ratio.
