You must submit a deposit in order to secure your reservation. Once you are notified that your reservation is confirmed, you will receive an invoice for a deposit. This deposit goes towards paying for the total cost of your program.

If you must cancel your reservation, your deposit will be refunded only if we are able to fill your spot.
Please note that 10% of your deposit constitutes a non-refundable SOU processing fee. In the event that your deposit is to be refunded, SOU will retain 10% of the deposited amount.
We understand that some school districts are unable to make payments for fiscal year 2019 until after July 1. If this is your situation, please get in contact with us and we can extend your deposit due date.
Cancellation Policy
Cancellation Policy
Contact Fall in the Field staff if inclement weather or environmental conditions are in the forecast and we will explore available options. Please DO NOT assume your reservation is canceled due to inclement weather. We encourage students and chaperones to dress appropriately for the weather. That means dressing for rain, wind, snow, or shine!
Schools will not be charged for trips that are cancelled by Fall in the Field staff. In these cases, your deposit will be refunded.
In the event of an unplanned cancellation, teachers will be refunded their payment only if we are able to fill the vacant spot.
If a group arrives for their program without the required paperwork, we will be unable to offer our program. In this event, the payment will not be refunded.
Make sure you are aware of our day programs, residential programs, and hybrid option that qualifies for OSFA funding!
Teaching Sites Information
Day Programs
Day programs take place at two locations within the Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument. The Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument has been protected for its rich biodiversity and cultural significance. Our day programs give students the chance to explore the Monument during place-based, standards-aligned lessons.
Hybrid Programs
Hybrid programs are designed to satisfy Outdoor School for All (OSFA) funding requirements, available through the OSU Extension Service. These programs combine a day trip at Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument with an overnight trip at Deer Creek Center to get the very most out of the Fall in the Field experience! We have reserved these program slots for 5th and 6th grade public school groups.
Residential Programs
Residential programs take place at Deer Creek Center in Selma, OR. Home to year-round creeks, recovered forest fire sites, and a magical fen full of carnivorous cobra lilies, DCC is a prime location for outdoor school. During these 2-day, 1-night programs, students will explore nature through educational hikes, field study lessons, and night programs.
