BOOK A WILD VOICES FOR KIDS PROGRAM!
Wow! As of March 3, 2022, all of our complimentary programs for this current school year have been booked! We are excited that there are has been so much interest in Wild Voices Programs.
The good news is that all programs are still available for booking at the subsidized rates of:
– $150 (1-1.5 hr in class or outdoor program)
– $250 (half-day field study)
– $350 (full-day field study)
We ask that teachers ensure that a program does not violate their school and/or district policies before booking. It is the responsibility of the teacher to confirm program suitability and communicate needs and questions to the Community Educator.
As with the previous school year, we have a COVID-19 policy in place for the 2021-2022 school year. Teachers booking programs are expected to read this plan in advance of their program to understand our policies and practices around offering programs this year.
Questions about the policy may be directed to the Wild Voices Program Manager at wildvoices@cbeen.org
