Many schools have 100-150 students in a particular grade. We will be focusing on 4thgrade students in 2022, but our program has been popular with Kindergarten, 1st Grade, 5th grade, and high school students, as we are able to adapt our program to these particular ages.. Schools in proximity to the museum like Orrington, Holden, Brewer, Eddington, and Bangor will be initially targeted.

  • The level of membership indicates the number of students you are sponsoring for a school field trip. Admission is $10 per student.
  • $200 Membership sponsors 20 students; that’s probable one class in a grade level.
  • Memberships between $200 – $1000 are sought.
  • We hope to offer free field trips to surrounding schools in the future through this fundraising strategy.
  • A plaque will be erected next to an ARTIFACT of your choice that all school field trip visitors will see during their visit.
