FIELD TRIPS:

LARC’s Acadian Village offers several different options for field trips that include self-guided and guided tours with the option to add on workshop(s) (for an additional charge) to any guided field trip tour. How does it work? Typically, schools arrive in the morning around 10 AM and begin their tours. Many of our groups are subdivided into smaller groups if they are being given a guided tour to ensure every child has the most intimate experience. If booking a self-guided tour, expect it to last about an hour. If booking a guided tour, expect it to last about an hour and a half to two hours depending on the school size. There are benches & tables available to use, or feel free to sit under the enormous, shady oaks if having lunch on the grounds. After lunch, free time commences where students can enjoy the green space with school provided games or a good round of old fashioned tag! Students can also go shopping in the general store with adult supervision. We do ask that you keep the groups around 20 or less in the store at one time. Dismissal will follow all of the fun activities!                                                                All proceeds from field trips benefit LARC, our parent company, who has been dedicated to serving the needs of people in Acadiana’s community with intellectual & developmental disabilities and their families.
