FAQs:
- Read this info sheet: for information on what participants should wear and bring.
- FIELD TRIP WAIVER : All students and chaperones must bring this signed toyour field trip.
- Please make sure all participants, including chaperones, dress in weather-appropriate clothing and are ready to get wet and muddy. Due to the rainwater levels, we will likely be at least thigh-deep in parts of the pond. Participants should wear closed-toe water shoes or old tennis shoes for getting into the water (no rain boots or flip flops). Everyone should also bring water, hat, sunscreen, and change of clothes for a dry ride back to school.
