Second Grade Field Trip


Skyline Caverns

When: Monday, April 30th, 2018

Time: Leave Pinebrook at 8:00am and return to Pinebrook at 2:15pm

About Skyline Caverns:
Skyline Caverns are the closest natural wonder to the Nation's Capital. Students will be taken on a tour through the Skyline Caverns which will explain the geological history of the caverns.  Students will also get to enjoy a ride on the Skyline Arrow which is a Miniature Train. This ten-minute ride carries students around Horseshoe Curve, across Apache Flats, by Kissing Rock and Sinkhole Overlook, and through Boothill Tunnel.  Students will also get to experience the Enchanted Dragon Mirror Maze.  This Maze was designed by Adrian Fisher Mazes Ltd, an English firm that designs unique mazes all over the world. The maze has pathways, walls, and angled mirrors surrounding you as try to navigate your way through the maze.   Students will wander under castle arches and woodland tree branches.

What to Wear:
The caverns are 54 degrees Fahrenheit (12 Celsius) year-round. Students should wear a light jacket or sweatshirt, pants, and sneakers.


Lunch: Students need to bring a bag lunch. Bag lunches should not contain anything breakable.  It is preferable that all of the contents are in disposable bags/containers, because teachers and chaperones are not responsible for any lost items.  We also request that students not bring foods containing nuts.

Cost:  $13 (Exact cash or make checks payable to Pinebrook Elementary no later than April 25th)

Chaperones: If you are interested in accompanying us on the field trip a paper will be sent home tomorrow for you to sign up. Due to a limited number of reserved seats on the bus, three parents per class will be permitted to join us.  Please do not submit your money until you have been notified that you have been selected as a chaperone.

We are looking forward to our field trip!
