Weather: Stony Kill Foundation field trips run rain or shine. If we need to cancel due to inclement weather we will do our best to reschedule, but we are unable to reserve rain dates in advance.
Current Covid Protocols: (updated May 2022) Program participants are expected to adhere to the self-screening and quarantine guidance provided by New York State and your school district. Programs are held primarily outdoors, with the exception of our barn and lower shop which is partially outdoors. Use of our barn classroom and Learning Center classrooms will be determined based on the number of attending students and chaperones. All program attendees will be expected to adhere to the masking requirements defined by your school district or institution. All SKF staff and educators are fully vaccinated. Groups that stay for lunch must eat outdoors unless arranged with the Program Director. Disinfectant and masks are available by request on-site for program use. Please note, all scheduled programs are subject to cancellation following New York State and Department of Health guidelines. We will do our best to reschedule should we need to cancel due to COVID guidelines or inclement weather.
Payment Policy: Stony Kill Foundation requires payment on or before the day of your trip. Once your trip is confirmed, you will be emailed an invoice based on your expected number of students attending and program length selected. Teachers and chaperones are free, and should not count towards your total number of students. If you need to adjust your number of participants as the trip approaches, please email our Program Director. Payment can be made by cash or check as our preferred options, but we are also able to accept credit cards if requested. If you are applying for a grant to help fund your trip, please ensure you have all paperwork that requires a Stony Kill Foundation representative's signature on the day of your trip. If the grant organization will be paying Stony Kill Foundation directly for your trip, please communicate this as soon as possible.
