Group will be picked up in a clean bus and will meet a professional tour guide at the Forest Preserve District of DuPage County - 15 miles west of downtown Chicago.

Students visit the forest preserve's maple syrup factory and tag along with a naturalist as they learn the ways of Native American, pioneer and modern-day syrup production. The program concludes with a taste of homemade syrup on ice cream.

Picnic sites are available at no extra charge. Many preserves have shelters that are available on a first-come-first-served basis.

Clothing for outdoor activities should be appropriate for the weather. Some outdoor trails are paved or have crushed-limestone surfaces, but those using trails should wear boots on muddy days. Bottled water, sunscreen, insect repellent, and other such needs are recommended.

While a date and time might be available when you call to reserve, we cannot guarantee a date and time until a deposit payment has been received. We recommend booking 3-6 months in advance.
