Reimbursement Funding

We encourage schools to seek funding for the trips through their own PTA/PTO or another reimbursement grant programs, such a BOCES Arts in Education and Exploratory Enrichment Program. Verify with your school district regarding BOCES requirements, your district’s membership and reimbursement rate.

Funding for the NY Connect-Kids-to-Parks Field Trip Grant Program is currently paused.  Please check their site often for updates.

Limited funds for spring 2025 are available through a Friends of Five Rivers scholarship.
