Groups: Your group is any and all persons associated with your school or organization. This includes, but is not limited to, children, instructors, chaperones, parents, and families. We need the total number in your group to book your field trip.   Two educators per classroom are no charge.

We must be notified of any number changes greater than 5 seats, 2 months before your reserved date by email at info@lelooska.org or calling 360-225-9522.  We can refund up to 5 seats that do not attend the day of the program due to circumstances beyond your control.

Due to several high-risk individuals in our community and for the health and safety of all, we will continue to limit group sizes and require masks to be worn by all visitors age 2 and older when inside the buildings. We are grateful for your understanding.
