Our Pricing Philosophy

We have no fixed prices.

You control the prices when you help us with the design of your program.

Your program can be as unique as you want to make it. Naturalists at Large will help every step of the way!

Every element of your Naturalists at Large program can be modified to achieve your goals.

Select your site, trip duration, optional activities and staffing ratios.

DESIGNING YOUR PROGRAM

One of the first things you receive from us is a "Goals Questionnaire." With your input, we use this to begin our design process. It allows us to determine the following:

Lodging

Choose tent camping in private campgrounds, State or National Parks.

You can also utilize our Lodge-Based sites with either dormitories, semi-private cabins with central baths or semi-private cabins with baths that are private.

 
 

Meals

  Assist us with meal preparation at our Outdoor Learning Center tent camping programs.

Or have meals prepared for you at most of our Lodge-Based sites.

 

 

Location

Influence the price by selecting a site closer to your school.

Naturalists at Large has sites convenient to both Southern California and Bay Area schools.

Save time and money on your transportation costs.

 
 

Program Options

Along with our outdoor education programs we offer a variety of options to enhance your Naturalists at Large experience. Depending on the site, these include rock climbing, challenge courses, sea kayaking, canoeing and whitewater rafting.
 
Also, we can take you snorkeling, backpacking, on off-site tours, Nordic skiing and snowshoeing. We'll help you choose what's best for your school. Call us!

Trip Duration

Schools choose from overnight to weeklong trips.

Staffing Ratio

  Schools have found the best ratio of naturalists to students is 12:1 with one faculty member or school chaperone.

You can elect to increase or decrease this ratio by the number of adult chaperones that you bring.

Occasionally we are restricted at a site to a specific ratio.

Contact us for details.
