Field trip adventure sessions. We have an exciting summer planned, with more age flexibility this summer! Ages 5-6 can attend two sessions this season, and we will offer one session for teens ages 13-15 in June. Ages 7-12 will be divided into two buses by age and buddy request, and ages 10-13 have options for more adventure most weeks.
Drop-off is from 8:15 a.m. to 8:45 a.m., and pickup is from 5:30 p.m. to 5:45 p.m. No field trip sessions will be held the week of June 30.
