Emails will be sent out prior to each field trip with specific details, but please plan on sending your child with a bag packed with a lunch, water, sunscreen, and a towel or something to sit on grass.

Please make sure that your contact information (phone and email) is correct, as this is how we will be communicating times, changes, rain dates, etc.

These trips are separate from our regular playground programs. Registration for a Mon-Thurs playground program does not reserve a spot on the field trips.

Please be sure to read any red colored notes listed under the field trip descriptions!
