What: Come join us for a very hands on experience at the Ty Warner Sea Center on the Wharf in Santa Barbara.  For the first hour, students will investigate Santa Barbara ecosystems, animals, plants and their environment on this ‘touch and explore’ tour of the inside of the museum.  If we have enough students sign up for the field trip we will also have a one hour lab on the beach.

Cost: This field trip costs $50 for the group regardless of how many students we have (we can have up to 60).  There is no charge for tag along babies/toddlers.  They will allow free parent chaperones at a ratio of 1:5.  So, if we have 17 students, there will be 3 free parent chaperones permitted.   Additional parent chaperones are welcome and will pay the group discount rate of $6.50 per extra adult.  If you have a membership to the Santa Barbara Natural History Museum/Ty Warner Sea Center, they will accept your membership and not charge for those extra adults.

Sign Up Deadlines: Please don’t wait until the last minute to sign up.  I will be giving a preliminary roster to the person who is putting together the educational program for us by February 1st so that he can put together a program that will best suit our group.  February 11th will be the last day you can sign up for this field trip.    We need at least 16 kids to have the lab program on the beach.  If we do not have 16 kids, we will just have the one hour Sea Center tour.
