Program Request Process
- Get details on currently available programs.
- Complete the appropriate program request form (see bottom of this page) and click "Submit."
- When completing your program request, please take the following into account:
- Programs: Some programs run from a variety of locations. Please indicate your preferred canoe or boat location after the program name. If you do not select a site, our field staff will select one with you after the trip is booked.
- Dates: Please be flexible about the date of your program(s). We will make every effort to accommodate you but cannot guarantee specific dates. Indicate how many trips you will need.
- Group Size: The number of participants includes students, teachers, and chaperones. Maximum numbers are listed on the program request form. If your group size exceeds the maximum number allowed for a program, you have two options: request two or more programs on the same date, or request the program on multiple dates.
- An e-mail will be sent to confirm receipt of your program request form. If you do not receive a confirmation e-mail it means that we did not receive your program request. To prevent your e-mail service from marking your confirmation message as spam, please add cbf.org to your accepted domains list.
- If we are unable to fill your request, you will be placed on a waiting list and may receive a date later in the season, as cancellations come in. You will only be notified if we are able to fill your request.
- Pre-trip information will be e-mailed to you shortly after the confirmation letter.
- Signed confirmation letters and payment/deposits are due back to our office by the date noted on your confirmation letter.
- Cancellations: There is no penalty for canceling your program 30 days ahead for one-day programs or 45 days ahead for multi-day (overnight) programs. Cancellations made after the respective 30 or 45 day grace period will forfeit your deposit and affect your chances for a future field experience.
If you have further questions about submitting your program request, please contact the scheduling team at 800-445-5572 or fieldtrips@cbf.org.
