How many students and teachers/chaperones can I bring without being charged?
In an effort to ensure the educational value of our programming we limit the number of students to 60 per program and allow 10 adult chaperones free of charge. The cost per student is $1.00 with a minimum charge of $50.00 per program. The charge for additional chaperones is $1.00.

Is there a charge for extra students or teachers/chaperones? 
To ensure the educational value of our programming the number of students attending programs at CHEC cannot exceed 70. For an outreach program, the maximum student enrollment is 35. If you have more then 35 students, a flat-fee of $10.00 in addition to the $2.00 per student fee will be added to your total. There is no charge for up to 10 teacher/chaperones. The charge for additional chaperones is $1.00.

Is there a charge to reschedule or change a scheduled field trip? 
There is no charge to re-schedule a trip however we ask that you do so 24 hours prior to your originally scheduled date. Trips cancelled with less than 24 hours notice or not attended on the originally scheduled date are subject to a $50.00 cancellation fee.

How are cancellations handled? 
We understand that conflicts arise. Trips cancelled prior to 24 hours of the originally scheduled program are not assessed a fee. Trips cancelled with less than 24 hours notice will be assessed a $50.00 cancellation fee.

What do I need to bring on the day of our scheduled field trip?
On the day of your scheduled program please bring a copy of your confirmation form and the check number and date of check used to pay for your program. You will be asked to provide the number of students and chaperones attending the program. If the number provided exceeds what was originally confirmed payment for additional students and/or chaperones will be required upon check-in.

Are there separate eating accommodations available for students who need special lunch areas due to allergies? 
CHEC is happy to offer eating accommodations for your convenience and do sanitize eating areas however, we cannot guarantee this sanitation will remove all particles which some students may have allergic reactions to.

Can I register to see more than one program on a given day? 
CHEC will make every attempt to accommodate registering your group for more than one program on a given day. A separate confirmation form and payment will be required for each program. Please consider your students' development stage and attention spans when considering more than one program a day.
