We are here to assist you with the planning process, and this checklist will help you get started. Refer to the teacher packets for more details.

Preliminary Planning

1. Browse our trip offerings and decide which experience fits best with your educational goals.
2. Give some thought to a window of availability, and a rough amount of students you wish to bring. Remember: trip availability is subject to permits, current bookings, and group size.
3. Contact us at 435 259-7750 or info@cfimoab.org to learn more about curriculum, dates of availability, and trip options.
4. Download and read through the teacher information packet on this page. It will walk you through everything you need to know about planning your trip.
5. Select a program, and reserve your dates with a deposit. The deposit consists of 5 program fees, is non-refundable, and goes toward your overall program costs.
6. Take a deep breath. You're in!

Once your program is booked

1. Keep your eyes open for an email from our reservations department with key information about how to register yourself and provide instructions and the registration link to parents and chaperones. You can also download send out the Parent Packet which contains essential information for your students' parents.
2. We will also send you a Curriculum Questionnaire. This will help us plan curriculum consistent with your classroom objectives.
3. Make your transportation plans to our area.
4. Recruit chaperones, organize student groups, and ensure that your students are registered.

It is the lead teacher's responsibility to arrange for transportation to and from the CFI program.

On River trips, vehicles must be shuttled from the trip start location, to the trip ending location downriver. There are companies that provide this service, and you can feel free to reach out for more information regarding vehicle shuttles.

We highly recommend purchasing travel insurance for your trip.

CFI works hard to ensure a positive experience for all guides and participants. Because of the unpredictable nature of outfitting, we have created a series of policies so maintain our ability to manage risk in the outdoors.

For critical information regarding cancellations, deposits, and other participant responsibilities, please view our trip policies page or contact us with any questions.

We will work with you to make sure that your group is fully registered for your trip. The registration process consists of:

Any registration materials or instructions you need will be sent to you after booking your trip.
