Field Trips
Think Like a Scientist!
Our on-site environmental education programs strive to promote curiosity-driven learning. All of our classes offer hands-on experiments and activities tailored to each group.

Cancellations: Jax Dragonfly Field Labs designs and implements programs based on enrollment. We invest in program planning, site licenses, equipment and other costs before the program begins. These expenses cannot be recovered in the event of a cancellation. When considering a cancellation, please be aware and respectful of our policies and commitment to facilitating quality programs.
Weather: Programs run rain or shine. We don’t provide refunds for days missed due to weather. All participants should come to programs with weather-appropriate clothing and related gear. In the event that extreme weather jeopardizes the health and safety of participants and staff, the Dragonfly Field Labs may choose to cancel or reschedule the session.
​
Park access: Dragonfly Field Labs operates in public parks. In very rare circumstances where access to the park has been restricted without notice, programs may be canceled if an alternative location can not be secured. Credits will be issued.
​
Low enrollment: Dragonfly Field Labs reserves the right to cancel a program due to low enrollment. A full refund will be issued.
Circumstances beyond our control: The Dragonfly Field Labs will determine whether a refund is warranted.
Other refunds and credits: Please see specific event details. We do not provide refunds or credits for no call/no shows.
All cancellations must be requested in writing by emailing info@jaxdragonfly.org.
We reserve the right to cancel a program or change a program’s duration, price or location. You will be notified via email of any changes to programs you are registered for.

COVID-19 and Facial Coverings
All of our programs are fully outdoors in a space that allows for social distancing. Facial coverings and masks are optional for families that attend. We are also limiting the size of our programs to make it easier to social distance. At all of our programs we provide hand sanitizer or a hand washing station to encourage safe practices. If you or your child are feeling any cold symptoms, we ask that you not attend the program. Please reach out via email to inform us and we will handle this on a case by case basis.
​
Dress Code: Children should dress appropriately for the activities scheduled. Jax Dragonfly Field Labs recommends shorts and a light weight shirt or top for hot weather, and some type of athletic shoe or sneaker in order to participate in recreational or athletic activities. Dragonfly Field Labs recommends an umbrella or jacket for rainy days, as we will still be outside. Sandals, flip-flops, rubber “crocs”-style shoes, and other open-toed shoes are not recommended as acceptable attire for active recreation activities.
