Key policies:

  1. Families joining Field for the first time may enroll in at most two sessions.

  2. Field is an active, outdoor program in English. Our team unfortunately cannot serve children who require consistent one-on-one support. Please be candid about any concerns you may have so that we can best support you and your child.

Have a question not covered here? Send us a note. We usually follow up within two business days.

As a small program with significant hard costs, we are unable to offer refunds under any circumstances past the dates listed above. Families are urged to purchase travel insurance to protect themselves from unexpected disruptions.
