About Leslie Science & Nature Center Field Trips:
We strive to provide participants with experiences that foster curiosity about the natural world and promote environmental literacy through the lens of Michigan’s natural history and resources. Our school programs are purposefully designed to complement current Michigan Science Standards, while using both NGSS and DCI as a framework for instruction and learning.
Weather and Location
All of our programs are seasonally appropriate and take place outdoors. Please make sure students and chaperones are properly dressed for the weather. In the case of extreme weather, we will move some activities indoors, focusing in the same themes and concepts.
Cancellations
Programs take place rain or shine. If your school is cancelled or if we deem the weather is unsafe, we will work to reschedule your program within the school year based on schedule availability, or refund if necessary.
Non-weather related cancellations must occur 48 hours in advance, or a $75 processing fee will be charged. The $75 fee is applied to any cancellation whether it is an entire organization, or one scheduled class from a multi-class visit.
Final payments must be made the day of the program, unless otherwise arranged by LSNC.
