For groups over 20 people we recommend planning two back-to-back mobile events with smaller groups.

• 60 minutes - $80

DCHS Education Programs have added a travel fee to the price of presentations. The first 20 miles round trip to your facility will have no extra charge. For distances of more than 20 miles round trip, there will be a $1 charge per mile.

Love the idea of presentation or event but don't have the space for it? Consider a wildlife field trip at DCHS! Field trips to DCHS are a 2 hour adventure and can include time with our education animals, a craft or service project and/or a presentation! Field Trips are located at the DCHS Equine Barn, 5124 Voges Road in Madison.

We require at least 2 weeks notice, and a minimum of 15 students to schedule a field trip.

Field Trip Fees:
$10/participant
No charge for teachers
 

NOTE: We are not able to accommodate Field Trips June through August due to Camp WildSide. 

If you would like an alternate type of wildlife-related event or would like a specific topic for your event, we would love to hear about it!
