Program Fees

Farmcraft Fee Change

Beginning Fall 2008 the fee for the Farmcraft program is increasing to $6.00 per student.  This popular program is one of our most expensive programs to run.  In order to adjust to the rising cost of supplies we have decided to raise the price for just this program.  The fee for other fall programs remains at $5.50 per student.

Program Fees:

      Farmcraft field trips: $6.00 per student
      Other Fall field trips: $5.50 per student
      Winter field trips: $4.50 per student
      Sugar Bush field trips: $6.00 per student
      Summer field trips: $3.00 per student

Fees for custom field trips and Merry Lea "On the Road" will be negotiated individually.  Contact us for current information on costs for programs presented at your facility.

Chaperone Fee Policy

There is no charge for chaperones except when the chaperone to student ratio is greater than one to five. The group will be charged at the student rate for the chaperones that exceed this ratio.

Cancellation Policy:

Reservations for some of Merry Lea’s programs fill quickly, and quality experiences require the help of volunteers and advance preparation. Last minute cancellation is disruptive to us and it may prevent a wait-listed group from coming. Therefore, if you cancel a program that involves Merry Lea's staff or volunteers, you may incur cancellation fees.

• Please access our current cancellation policy (pdf file).   Please double-check your master calendar and transportation reservations well in advance of your visit to Merry Lea.
