Field trips have 3 rotations & on a tight schedule:
1) Educational presentations on fruits & vegetables, what is an orchard, safety (30mins)
2) Picking produce includes a wagon ride to field (30min). Spring, students pick carrots out of the ground and may get muddy/dirty/dusty. This is subject to change based on the availability of produce. We ask ALL adults to help students pick produce and leave produce (carrots) for the students. Adults do not get to take home carrots.
3) Educational presentations at the chicken coop and observational beehive (30 mins)
Optional Lunch: Field trips are 1.5 hours long. You can bring lunches and stay an extra 30 min in our shaded picnic area for a total of up to 2 hours.

Cancellations / Changes
It is very difficult to change dates or times. Contact Gilcrease Orchard ASAP for cancellations, date changes, or addition or subtraction of students, teachers, and chaperones/adults. We have limited space in program. We will try to accommodate, but may not be able to as we may not have space to fit more people (especially chaperones). If there is space, we will book another group/school with your group. Booking does not include exclusivity of program/facility. If additional adults who were not accounted for show up to program, we may not be able to fit them in or allow due to school privacy policies. If we have space, we will charge them the full price of $6.50.
If you decrease the # of people/students more than 5, or within 3 weeks before event, we reserve the right to not refund, as holding places will keep other groups/students from attending this seasonal program.
