GENERAL INFORMATION
  • Field trips to NBSTCC are 1 hour in length. If the field trip includes a *pier walk, an additional 30 minutes will be added to the trips time. To ensure a safe, fun and memorable trip, students may be split into separate smaller groups when touring. At these times, smaller groups will engage different parts of the center and participate in planned activities at different times. NBSTCC is ADA compliant and accessible for those utilizing mobility assistive devices. The safety of students and our residents is very important to us at the NBSTCC; therefore, we politely ask that you provide one adult chaperone per every 10 students.
  • As these tours are part of a school function, we invite families, friends or other large groups not affiliated with schools or learning centers to schedule a private/group tour. This will allow us to accommodate the specific needs of each group and aid in creating a fun, tailored and meaningful experience for all!
*Pier walks may be cancelled for inclement weather. NBSTCC will assess weather conditions and make a determination that prioritizes the safety of our guests and NBSTCC Teams.
