​New Guidelines for Home School Groups
We understand the uniqueness of a home school group and will accommodate a variety of ages for a single program;  We know it is often necessary to have younger siblings accompany you for the visit.  In an effort to keep everyone safe while attending a program, we are now implementing a new 1:4 chaperone to student ratio, or one chaperone for every four students.

A chaperone is considered someone who is able to devote their full attention to the activity to help reinforce the lessons learned. This will help us reduce accidents/injuries with both the students and younger siblings.  We recommend you consider making other arrangements for younger siblings while attending with your school-aged child.

Program Activities
After the lesson, children will be given bike ride time in our village.  We have bikes that are 20″ with and without training wheels and bikes that are 24″, with hand brakes only.  We do not allow outside bikes to be brought in.  You may bring your own helmet but we do have plenty on hand. Students must be at least 40″ tall to ride a bike.  Younger siblings who may be in attendance will not participate in bike ride time but may practice pedestrian skills while accompanied by an adult.
