About
We are looking forward to our Experience UGA trips for the semester! Choose the date and school that work best for you. If all spots are filled, choose another trip.
Trip Description: Pre-K students learn about the natural world through their sense as they act out the life cycle of a tree, observe insects in nature, and engage in other exploratory activities.
Guidelines for the trip:
o Meet at the Office of Service-Learning at 8:50 am to carpool/drive to the State Botanical Garden
o We will be leaving at 9:00 am to travel to the State Botanical Garden
o Be prepared to engage young children.
o Do not have any food or drink with you during the trip.
o Trip activities are done at 11. Volunteers are free to leave at this time but may stay for lunch with the students if they would like.
o Have fun with the children!
Rain Plan:
o The trip will have to be rescheduled.
o We will make our decision by 8:15 AM the morning of the trip, and will let you know as soon as possible after that.
