School Tours: Mining Sluice Adventure ToursNow booking tours: During our exciting Mining Sluice Adventure Tour, students will make their way to the Mining Sluice, a wooden water tower in which water runs through a series of troughs. Students will take their bag of mining "rough" and pour it into a sluice box. Each student will shift and shake their box, and the water will wash the dirt away slowly revealing their found treasure. After each student discovers their gems or fossils, they will be given an identification card to accurately identify exactly what they found. When the exercise is complete, students will keep their found treasure and the ID card to take home. Choose from our three mining tour options, below: Choose from our Mining Sluice Adventure Tour Options Gem Mining Tour: A Rock or A MineralStudents will participate in an interactive outdoor classroom learning and investigating the differences between rocks and minerals and the life cycle of rocks.

CancellationsOut of respect for other tour groups, and to maintain booking flexibility, cancellations need to be made within two weeks of the visit. If cancellations are not made within this time frame they are severely damaging in that another class is deprived of a trip. Therefore, cancellation less than 2 weeks in advance or "no-shows" will result in a charge of $75 plus no refund of the deposit already paid.Cancellations need to be person to person. Messages left on voice mail are NOT acceptable. In case of rain, Trunnell's will make any cancellation decisions the morning of the trip. Please call that morning if you have any questions. If cancellation is due to weather, the above fee will be waived for all cancellations, and Trunnell's will be happy to assist in rescheduling your tour.
