We Are Now Taking School Group Reservations!
April 30, 2015 | Posted in Uncategorized | By Alexandria Searls
Fall planning is underway! We are taking reservations for school groups of up to 45 students and 5 teachers and parents, beginning in September. Field trips include tours of our full-size historical boat replicas, hands-on activities such as carpentry, boat building, map making, hiking, and Lewis & Clark Expedition games. Fees are $7 per child for the basic field trip, which lasts approximately an hour and a half. Additional time and activities are available, and with your lesson plans we can design custom programs related to history, geology, environmental science, and the arts. Please contact Executive Director Alexandria Searls at lewisandclark@lewisandclarkvirginia.org to make a reservation today, or to receive more information on our programs.

Please stop by our booth at Kid*Vention 10 AM – 3 PM at Key Recreation Center, and learn about migrating animals through art and dance. The event is free, or with a suggested donation of $5. Kid*Vention is a celebration of science for children, with many hands-on activities offered by a variety of organizations. Even if you don’t have children to bring, we welcome our adult supporters and the chance to show you about our programs. So drop on by!
