Scheduling Procedures

Schedule Early! Spring and Fall time slots can fill months in advance, but we're open all year. For faster scheduling, have several date & time options ready when you submit the form below. 

When you schedule a program, a time slot will be reserved for you (this includes your arrival, 1-3 programs, and optional trail and food time). Time slots can be scheduled between the hours of 9:00 am – 9:00 pm, seven days a week, depending upon our availability. School and summer group programs are usually booked Monday-Friday between the hours of 9:30 am-2:00 pm, but other time slots can also be arranged.
  1. Complete and Submit the School or Summer Group Program Interest Form below.
    (It may take 24-48 hours for us to receive and review your request. We will be in touch via email as soon as possible)
  2. Review and sign the confirmation & invoice form upon receipt.
  3. Mail the signed confirmation form with the non-refundable deposit.  
  4. Submit the remaining balance due by the due date listed on the confirmation. 
  • Payment can be made via cash, Purchase order, credit card, or check. Please make checks payable to Tenafly Nature Center. Credit cards may be accepted by letting the Field Trip and TNC to Go Manager know of your payment choice ahead of time.
  • Review Field Trip or TNC to Go policies so that you are aware as to what the teachers and group leaders responsibilities are, and what Tenafly Nature Center will provide. 
* Lessons begin and end at the time listed on the confirmation sheet.
* Participants should wear sturdy shoes or boots and rain gear when applicable.
* Teachers are required to stay with the group during programs. 
* Student discipline is the responsibility of the teachers, not TNC staff.
