Van School Program Trip Options

Sky Ranch School Programs hopes to offer a quality Outdoor Education experience at an affordable rate. Contact us anytime for availability and for any pricing questions that are not answered here. Sky Ranch is a non-profit organization, therefore all charges are set based off of meal costs, staffing needs and operating expenses.

Outdoor Education Field Trip Dates:
Our OE program runs on a normal school year calendar, usually from mid-August through mid-May. Our summer camp program and youth retreats take up all of our space in the summer but you can always call if these are the dates that your group needs. Please contact us to see if your dates are open at (903) 266-3311. Groups are typically able to rent our facilities year-round with the exception of Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter weekends.

Outdoor Education Rates :
The following rates are for our OE program and include all of your classes, our teaching staff, the number of meals listed, the number of dorms and rooms needed, possibly an extra teacher cabin, one free teacher per 10 students, and evening activities. We have lower rates available for schools who bring their own teachers and simply want to rent out our facilities.
