OPTIONAL RESOURCES

We offer supplementary Classroom Presentations ($25, 1 hour) and Educational Kit Rentals ($15 per week). These additional resources are recommended to maximize the impact of the full program. The classroom presentation will be scheduled for one week before your field trip at 1 p.m. (unless otherwise requested) and you will receive your Educational Kit during the presentation, which will be due back at the time of your field trip. We also offer Free Virtual Classroom Presentations, if preferred.

*In-person classroom presentations are only available to schools within Santa Cruz County and may change to virtual if pandemic cases rise.
