• Fees for most 1½ - 3 hour programs range from $110 - $230. Fees vary depending upon such factors as the program type, length, and location. Fees apply to whole classes and groups, participants are not charged on an individual basis. Group organizers will be quoted the exact fee when scheduling a program.


• Size: With the exception of the Native American Legacy assembly program, all programs are designed for a standard school class size or smaller.


• Multiple Programs: When two or more programs are scheduled per day at the same location, the per-program fee drops considerably. Your institution will save money if two or more programs are held on the same day. Discounts may also apply when multiple programs to be held on different days are scheduled at the same time.


• Overnight Programs: If necessary, the YES can provide all group equipment and food required for overnight programs. Fees for overnight programs vary according to the program length and any special equipment needed for your group.


• Guarantee: All programs are guaranteed. If the teacher or group leader is dissatisfied with a program’s quality your money will be refunded.


• Grant funding may be available for some school programs. We may be able to help you obtain these added resources. Financing plans are available as well. We try hard to make our programs affordable for all.


• Payment: Your program will be reserved upon receipt of a 25% deposit of the program fee, or a purchase order to Sylvan’s YES. Full payment for all programs is due on the day of the program unless a purchase order is accepted. Full payment for a purchase order is due within 30 days of the program or a 15% late fee will be assessed.


• Cancellation fees of 25% of the program cost will be charged for the cancellation of any program less than two weeks prior to the scheduled date of the program.


• Adult participation in youth programs is generally limited to two chaperones or teachers per class. These adults should be prepared to actively assist the YES staff in class management. Additional adults are encouraged to attend pre-K programs and streamside biosurveys.


• Bring: Upon registration, group leaders will be sent a confirmation packet with details about your program, and items students will need.



• Weather: Participants should be prepared to be outside even in light rain. In the event of heavy rain or severe weather, the program date will be moved to the severe weather date. Severe weather dates are scheduled when the program is initially scheduled.
