In-School Programs

Reserve your program by faxing us the scheduling request form, at least 2 weeks prior
to the date you want to have a traveling museum visit.  Museum programs are very
popular, so please list a second choice for visit dates. Confirmation and program
guidelines will be sent prior to the visit.  If you do not hear from us, do not assume your
program request was received.

Scheduling   Fax: (518) 377-6593     e-mail  scheduling@thetravelingmuseum.org

Fees:  $99 per presentation for traveling programs presented by one Museum teacher,
$129 for traveling programs requiring two Museum teachers.  Two teacher programs are
marked with * in the program brochure, and include most of the Arts programs and one of
the Character Education programs.

An additional travel fee will be charged, based on your distance from the museum. The
rate charged for this may change from time to time during the school year based on
Internal Revenue Service current reimbursement rate.  The Scotia-Glenville Children’s
Museum serves an area up to 50 miles from Scotia, NY.

Please note:  Scheduling more than one presentation of a program per day reduces total
travel fees.  A program may be scheduled up to three or four times on the same day.
Successive presentations of the same program should stay in the same room, and allow
15 minutes between each program for museum teacher preparation and set up.

BOCES:  Scotia-Glenville Children’s Museum programs are available as a BOCES Arts-in-
Education service.  Please inquire about your school’s eligibility for BOCES aid.

Group Size:  In-School  programs accommodate up to 28 participants.  To maintain our
current program fees and ensure that all students receive a quality experience, the
museum must limit group size to 28 students.  Exceptions will not be permitted.

Note:  Programs listed as available for Preschool will gladly be done for children ages
four and/or five.  Our programs are not appropriate for children under 4.  

Billing:  Invoices are mailed after the Museum visit.  Payment is due within 30 days.
Please note that museum teachers cannot accept any payments at the time of the
program.

Mythical Creatures
A writing program for 5th
and 6th grades:
Participants brainstorm and write
descriptive stories inspired by

large piece of paper, using the
model of a Greek urn.  Replicas
and photos of Greek artifacts are
used to  stimulate the imagination.
