For Parents/Chaperones

One aspect that sets FIELDGUIDES apart from other providers is our family-style camping format and the role that parent chaperones play in the experience. Our programs combine engaging academic instruction with the homey feel of a family camp-out. There are no mess halls or cabins and as a result no extra cooks or cabin leaders. Students, parents, teachers, and staff all cook, eat, clean, play, and reside together. The result is a strong feeling of community and a unique chance to learn about one another and connect in new and inspiring ways. If you are going to be a chaperone at one of programs please use the links below to help yourself prepare.

Fieldguides works hard to make your life easier by providing everything necessary for a safe and fun camping experience so that you don't have to.

 What We Provide:
  • Tents for sleeping and large tarps/rain structures for inclement weather
  • First Aid Kits; both in camp and with each study group on the trail
  • Sports equipment, cards, and other games for free time
  • Hot bevy station for teachers & chaperones. Hot tea and coffee to your heart's content!​

  • All necessary cleaning and sanitizing products and equipment
  • A full outdoor kitchen and all food for the programs
  • Our menu is adaptable and friendly to most allergies. If you have specific food concerns please let us know and we will work together in creating a suitable menu.
