Field Trip Reservation
Information The Teacher Packet has all
the information a teacher needs to get his or her
students prepared for their field trip. To reserve
your school's field trip, you must call for available
dates or fill out and email the inquiry form found
on the Contact Page. Once an available date is agreed
upon, TWC will hold it for three business days,
which will give the teacher time to fill out and
fax the Field Trip Request form on page 1 of the Teacher Packet.
Once this form has been received, TWC will
fax a Confirmation to the school contact
listed on the form. Fill out one Request form for each date desired. Note:
Do not fill out a desired date and fax the form without making an inquiry to check for
the date(s) availability.
