Yosemite Mountain Sugar Pine Railroad-Heartland Charter School

Registration window March 17, 10:00 a.m. -March 24, 7:00 p.m.

Take a 1-hour train tour narrated by your friendly conductor on the Yosemite Mountain Sugar Pine Railroad and learn the area's amazing history. Students will learn about the history of the Yosemite Mountain Sugar Pine Railroad. They will travel along the historical route where mighty lumberjacks felled the timber and flumes carried the lumber to the town of Madera. The conductor will tell of the history of the line, the trees, and the wildlife native to the area. There is also an opportunity to visit with a gold prospector who will show students how to pan for gold. Students will have access to the Thornberry Museum which offers a glance at logging camp life at the turn of the century. Students can also visit the bookstore for a collection of historical titles and railroad literature. This trip will also include a 1-hour long educational wildlife show featuring a red-tailed hawk, barn owl, skunk, ferrets, hedgehogs, snakes, and a turtle or tortoise. There might be snow if we are lucky!

Ticket cost:

• Children ages 0-1 FREE

Heartland events are designed for families to attend together. Students need to be accompanied by an adult chaperone.

All chaperones must be healthy, ethical people with the skills to be responsible adult chaperones.

Please read our refund policy!

Refunds will not be given for any reason. As a courtesy, if you are sick or unable to attend a field trip, please contact the teacher, who planned the event to let them know so they do not wait at the venue for you.* Families who are no-shows may lose access to future field trips.*

May I pay using my student's planning amount? Yes! You can pay for your student's ticket and one chaperone ticket with your student's planning amount. Reminder, only one chaperone ticket per family may be purchased using planning amounts. There are two steps to purchase tickets for field trips with your student's planning amount.

Step 1. Reserve your ticket on Ticketbud. Please select the "Student ticket paid with planning amounts through Procurify" and or "Chaperone ticket paid with planning amounts through Procurify" ticket options on Ticketbud. Complete the checkout process on Ticketbud. You will receive an email confirmation from Ticketbud once your order is complete. (If you do not receive an email please check your Spam folder.) This is the first step in reserving your tickets. Immediately after you receive confirmation from Ticketbud, you will move to step 2.

Step 2. Place an order for your tickets in Procurify. Search the name of this field trip in the Procurify catalog and complete your order just like you would for any other order. Your spot on this field trip will not be confirmed until you have placed your order in Procurify. Failure to place an order in Procurify within three days will result in being removed from the attendee list and having your funds manually deducted.
