Walking Field Trips: These trips will take place in June. We will be walking to Highlands Heritage Park and Big Dry Creek Park. Students will be with staff the whole time, utilizing cross walks and maintaining safety procedures. *We will need to set a maximum capacity of 50 kids for Pool Days due to their group size restrictions.
Bus Field Trips: We will be taking a bus 2-3 days a week. Buses will include district busses, the Skate City Bus, and some Charter Buses. Check out the Activity Calendars & Itineraries page for more details (Coming Soon)!
Skate City: Our Skate City trips will be dress up days again this year. Themes will be posted on the Activity Calendars + Itineraries. While dressing up is optional, it is encouraged!

What to expect:
* When we have bus field trips, students will be asked to wear their yellow tie dye LTE Field Trip Shirt, unless otherwise specified on the activity itinerary. If you do not have one, any bright yellow t-shirt will work great. LTE spirit-wear in colors other then yellow is not permitted for field trips. *Please note, we will not be selling any shirts this year...you will not be billed if you child needs to borrow a shirt from our limited supply. If you are looking for a similar shirt to the LTE Field Trip Shirt, the GOLD kids tie dye t-shirt on amazon is a great option though definitely not required.
* Please be sure to check the weekly itineraries so you know what your student will need each day as well as timing of special activities such as being there experiences and guest speakers. Monthly activity calendars and weekly itineraries will be available soon.

Incoming Kindergartners
Incoming Kindergartners
In an effort to provide continued quality care, we have made the tough decision to not accept incoming kindergartners for our 2026 summer program. We have discussed with the many other BASE programs that do not accept kindergarteners until their first day of school and have decided this option to be most beneficial to our program.
*The ONLY exception to this will be if you have a current student in the program. Siblings of current students that are entering kindergarten at LTE for the 26-27 school year may utilize summer BASE, as long as, they are 5 years old. Please reach out to Matthew or Mia directly with any questions about this change.
Non-LTE Families
Non-LTE Families
Our goal is always to serve as many families in the community as possible. With expected numbers for the Summer Safari 2026 program, we will not be accepting new enrollment for families that are not enrolled at LTE for the 26-27 school year at this time. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Please feel free to reach out to Arrowwood BASE, Frontier Valley BASE or Meadow View BASE if you are interested in another BASE Program in the district that has current availability.
*Non-LTE Families who attended during the 23-24 School Year are grandfathered into the program and are welcome to renew their enrollment for the 26-27 School Year. Please reach out to Matthew or Mia directly with any questions you may have.
