Educational Field Trips
Project Chimps offers basic tours for youth groups of 10-40 children under the age of 18.
These tours are free of charge but guests are asked to bring items from our sanctuary Wish List to donate for the chimps.
Walking tours typically last 60-90 minutes and offer opportunities to see chimpanzees in their outdoor habitat or villas through viewing windows. Chimpanzee sightings are very likely but never guaranteed.
Email us today to learn more about your options and to customize your tour to match the ages or grade level of your group.

- Groups can be between 10 and 40 students.
Fees

We are currently offering virtual field trips for the Chimpanzee Conservation, Great Apes, and Our Chimps lesson plans. You can see all of the 10 lesson plans in our Curriculum Packet by checking out our Teacher Portal.
Please note that we are unable to get any chimpanzees on a live-streaming service at this time due to our low internet speed on campus.
Currently, while we are still in our testing phase, these virtual field trips are free! However, as we evolve, there will be a fee for these interactions.
