Planning Field Trips

After working with your group to find out what they would like to do, use the following list to help your group plan a successful trip!

What is the target audience for the field trip? Is it age appropriate for your group?
What are the minimum and maximum number allowed?
Is there a group discount? What is the cost?
Is a deposit required?  
Is the fee/balance due payable at the door or is there an advance deadline for payment?
Does the trip meet any safety or other guidelines of your organization.
Are there any insurance requirements?
How many chaperones will you need?
How many drivers will you need?
What paperwork is needed by your destination and/or your organization?
Is the tour self-guided, or will there be a tour guide?
Are there study guides provided or online to help your group prepare for the field trip?
Are there safety rules and/or other guidelines the tour location expects your group to follow?
Are there rest rooms?
Where will you park?
Are there facilities to buy a snack/lunch or an area for a picnic lunch?
Be sure to send a thank you card afterward!
