Traveling Field Trips

Absolutely not. Each experience is designed to be hands-on for all students so we will require the use of a space that can accommodate a single class of students each hour throughout the day.

CASE on the Road staff members will arrive at the school with everything required for the visit. We will set up in a school space, preferably with tables or desks where 2-4 students can work together, for the day. Throughout the day, classes will rotate into the “lab” and participate in the experience. We ask that each class of students be with us for at least one hour and that we limit the class sizes so that each student has a hands-on experience.

That depends on your class scheduling. We will need at least one hour with each class of students (preferably 24 students or fewer) to get through the experience. If we start first thing in the morning, we typically can get through 4 classes in a day with lunch and transition time.

You can reserve a second day for us to come for an additional fee.

Due to staffing and equipment limitations, each experience can only be done in a single space.

Sometimes, yes. If you only have 1 or 2 classes doing each activity, we may be able to accommodate doing more than one activity but that would be dependent on your school day. These circumstances would need to be discussed prior.

For each day, the cost is $500.  You will receive a link to a secure payment platform that will accept credit cards or electronic check payments.

Schools will often get support from parent/teacher groups, community groups, small grants, or field trip fees to families.

Yes, all CASE on the Road staff are required to have up-to-date CORI checks. This includes any BSU students assisting in the program. If your school requires its own individualized CORI checks, our staff are happy to provide the necessary paperwork.

If either the university or your school experiences a delayed opening or cancellation, your traveling field trip will be canceled and will need to be rescheduled. If your school is delayed or canceled, please notify us as soon as possible by emailing Erin Schofield at e1schofield@bridgew.edu or calling 508-531-1904, so we can inform our staff promptly.
