WILD Jersey programs are interactive and hands-on,
and designed for “small” groups. Group size limits are
listed with each program description.
|
| Some WILD Jersey programs include the use of discovery backpacks
loaded with materials to help students investigate the topic. Students
get to carry their own pack, and are able to use items like binoculars,
pocket microscopes, magnifiers, field ID guides, insect bottles, or
journaling materials. Look for the backpack symbol next to program
titles. |

| Fees |
| |
| Fees are quoted with the program descriptions, found through the
linked pages above. There is a $150 minimum program fee per
scheduled date. A written quotation can be provided for any
program request. Full payment is due on the day of the scheduled program
unless a purchase order was processed. For purchase orders, full payment
is due within 30 days of the invoice date or a 10% late fee will apply. |
| |
| Travel Fees |
| Additional travel fees are determined by distance in miles from
the WILD Jersey office to your program site. Any site requiring less
than 40 miles (roundtrip) of travel does not incur a travel fee. Travel
over this distance will incur a fee of $0.35 per mile after the first
40 miles. Travel fees are added per program date and are calculated
using MapQuest. |
| |
| Materials Fees |
| Certain activities may require a per student fee for consumable
materials. These fees are listed with the program description. |
| |
| Nature University |
| The Nature University option is a cost-effective way to bring WILD
Jersey programs to your school throughout the year. Schedule six or
more program dates and receive a 5% discount on program fees when
paying in advance. Discount applies to program fees only (not to materials
costs or travel fees). |
