Field trips are open to the public - beginners are welcome! Keep in mind:

--arrive a few minutes early; we try to leave on time
--we car pool for out-of-town trips; please share gas expenses with your driver and have a full tank if you are willing to drive
--we can meet people at our destination or en route if arranged in advance
--return times are estimates, and are not guaranteed; you may return early if you drive yourself
--bring a picnic or sack lunch for all of the all-day trips except Lake Michigan, plus drinks and snacks for all trips - picnic lunch optional for Fox Is. and other half-day trips
--dress for the weather. The Lake Michigan and Lake Erie shorelines are often colder than inland, so bring plenty of warm clothes. Water-resistant shoes or boots are often useful for early morning dew, and comfortable walking shoes or boots are always a must.
