Our fees are per person, so you only pay for the number of people you register. At the time of booking, we ask for a guaranteed minimum number. As long as you meet this number, you are all set.

Some Helpful Ways to Save, Fundraise and Reduce the Prices

1. Bring More People

  • If you bring more than 50 people, you will receive $3 off the per person price.
  • If you bring more than 80 people, you will receive $4 off the per person price.
  • If you bring more than 100 people, you will receive $5 off the per person price.

2. Bring Another School

3. Apply For Grants

4. Help Your Students/Guests Save For Their Field Trip

  • Payment plans can be set up within the school/groups for families, even a couple of years out. If parents are able to make smaller payments over longer periods of time, then the trip becomes more affordable. For example, a $120 program spread over 10 monthly payments is only $12 per month, per student. This is much more affordable than say two payments of $60. It means the school/group may have to plan the trip over a year in advance, but this will make it more affordable for everyone.

5. Good Old-Fashioned Fundraising

  • There are some pretty fun ways students/participants can become responsible for raising their own funds (with a little assistance from you, of course!). Why not help your students organize one of these activities:

6. Develop A School District – Local Business Partnership


How do our Prices Compare with our Competitors?

Our prices are in line with our competitors. We have found that the rates we offer a pretty consistent with other outdoor centers of our magnitude that run programs of our quality.

Our programs are of the highest quality. It's true that you may find lower prices out there, but we can assure you that when prices are too low, quality certainly suffers.

Our prices closely match our value-for-money mentality - we believe that good groups are happy groups, and happy groups are those that get an excellent quality program for a very reasonable price.
