KIDSTOP

Here is what you need to know about online field trip signup this summer:

1. You will enter your child’s name, grade for the 2025-26 year and the site they are attending this summer.
2. You may select Add Child and select field trips for up to 4 children in your household per form.
3. A list of available field trips will populate per the site they are attending, along with a description and the cost. Select the field trips your child wants to attend. Please note that some field trips are limited to specific age groups. Also, if there are multiple date options for a specific field trip, we ask that you only sign your child up for one date. Once a field trip is filled to capacity, it will be disabled, and you will no longer be able to select that option. It will say, “0 items available for this item.”
4. Once you have all the field trips selected for each child, the total cost of all field trips will be calculated. Payment will be processed online via credit card or Easy Pay.
