Project Crystal 2023-2024 Teacher Learning Community Application
Thank you for your interest in Crystal Cove Conservancy’s Project Crystal program! This form is to help us keep track of the schools that would like to participate in Project Crystal field trips this year. You do not need to complete this form if you are only planning to run the curriculum in your classroom without the in-person field trips.

At Crystal Cove Conservancy, we recognize that field trip costs can be a barrier to access for many students. As a result, we offer financial support to elementary schools who seek to participate in Project Crystal field trips. These funds are primarily reserved for Title I schools, although other schools that show need will be supported as funding allows.

As an accepted member of Crystal Cove Conservancy’s Project Crystal Teacher Learning Community, you will receive access to:
- Professional development opportunities and workshops;
- A scholarship towards each of your two field trips (normally $600 per class).

By becoming a member, you commit to:
- Attending two professional development workshops, one in the fall or winter and one in the spring;
- Facilitating pre- and post-trip student assessments in the classroom;
- Sending Thank You notes to funders after your second field trip;
- Submitting final invoices to Crystal Cove Conservancy within 60 days of your program or by June 10, 2024 (whichever occurs first)

Each school only needs to complete this form once.  If more than one fifth grade teacher from your school will be delivering Project Crystal curriculum in the classroom and attending the professional development sessions, please include the names and emails of the other teachers below.

If you have any questions about field trip logistics or funding, please contact Georges Edouard, Crystal Cove Conservancy Education Coordinator, by emailing georges@crystalcove.org.

Field Trip Information
Project Crystal involves two field trips to Crystal Cove State Park.  We recommend that these field trips are spaced at least one month apart (although many teachers prefer more of a gap, so that they have time to complete the curriculum).  

Please note that the maximum group size for one field trip is limited to 65 students.  If you have more than 65 fifth grade students participating in the program, you will need to divide your group into two or more visits.
