REQUEST FOR EXCURSION SUPPORT AT KOKE’E NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM
When a request is made for excursion support for your field trip to Koke’e, this form must be completed so we can assign a staff/volunteer to fill the need. Always call Kōkeʻe Museum, 808-335-9975, Ext. 0, the week before your program to confirm it.
If you are interested in our Crow For Kōkeʻe Recipes for Adventure Cirriculum Guide (aimed at grades 3-4), a 3-ring bound copy is available for $20 plus postage (contact us). We hope to have a down-loadable version available to you soon.
HELP US CUSTOMIZE YOUR EXCURSION SUPPORT
- Please describe what your group is studying about, natural history, native Hawaiian ecosystems, or Hawaiian culture:
- What activities have you selected for which you want our services? Outline a schedule of your excursion so we can plan for it or react to it:
Please note: Maximum groups are 25 students each with at least one supervising adults for storytelling museum tours and lectures or film presentations. One supervising adult is required for every five students in Grades 3 and below, and one for every 20 students in Grade 4, on a guided walk. This is the recommended Hawaiʻi Dept. of Education policy. You may schedule activities back-to-back to meet your group’s needs. For instance, a 60-student group would be split up into three revolving activities.
When you fill out and return this form, a Hui o Laka staffer will be in touch with you, confirming details and dates. And congratulations to you and your school for exposing your students to these wonderful mountain environments- they will make memories for a lifetime!
