Partially funded for Schools, Scouts, Education, Research, Wounded Warriors, etc.
These tours are deeply discounted because sustainability and community education is the base of why we created our tourism infrastructure. .These tours are "partially funded by our standard tourism activities" specifically to “match curriculum for schools “ and “provide youth or rehabilitation activities for non-profit entities" that otherwise would not be able to afford to match their needs in the outdoors.
Matching School Curriculum and Scouts / Youth Groups: 4-4.5 Hours
See our Youth Groups under our Living Classrooms Project
These low partially funded rates are not online: Call for pricing.
Costs vary slightly based on daily participants, for a single day, or an average of multiple classes over several days.
We support Small Middle School Classes with Multiple Grades and our Larger Schools are bringing 5 classes over 5 days averaging 28 students for each class. Maximum each day is 35 including staff or parent chaperones. Multiple classes can be spread out over 2 to three weeks. Example: Tuesday and Thursday one week and Monday, Wednesday and Friday the next.
