CONDUCT: Parents are responsible for their children (regardless of age) AT ALL TIMES. No students should be left anywhere unattended! LCA family conduct while on FTs must be above reproach. Not only are we representing LCA in public, but we are also witnesses for Christ to a non-believing world.
From Powell Gardens: The role of a chaperone is to ensure that groups display proper etiquette and respect the gardens while on property AT ALL TIMES. Powell Gardens reserves the right to dismiss any group or guest who cannot follow garden etiquette or is being unruly, disruptive, or disrespectful. Please do not run or yell. Please share with students (and help enforce) the following garden guidelines:
- Gardens are for looking and enjoying – please do not pick or collect plants unless INSTRUCTED by a tour guide or staff member.
- Safety comes first – please walk, don’t run, wherever you go.
- Respect our plant life by staying on paths and out of garden beds at all times. Even areas which appear to be bare may have newly planted seeds. Groups are welcome to visit the Gift Shop in the Visitor Education Center, but only allow five students at a time with one chaperone.
- Chaperones must ensure students access the stairs at the silo area safely.
NOTE: It is impossible to predict every scenario that may or may not happen while on a field trip. THANK YOU for being patient, flexible, and gracious! God bless!
