Bonus Field Trips

Each summer, Campers are offered optional “bonus” field trips, which are added to spice up our travel plans off campus. Bonus trips are available for all camp programs, and appear on your campus calendar with a “$” icon indicating that the trip is a bonus trip.

Bonus trips require an online consent form to be completed for each camper in your Camp Account, and are offered for an additional fee not included in the camp tuition. Camps ‘R’ Us offers “passthrough” pricing on all bonus field trips. Trip fees are calculated based on admission costs for Campers and Staff, additional amenities, transportation, parking, and insurance.

Please note: C2 Program Campers are invited to all bonus field trips free of charge, as long as their assigned group is attending the trip.

Bonus Field Trips | Summer 2022

New York Mets vs. Cincinnati Reds

We’re visiting Citi Field, in Flushing, New York, on Wednesday, August 10th, to see the New York Mets take on the Cincinnati Reds. This trip features exclusive section seating for our Campers and Staff in a shaded section of the Left Field Landing at Citi Field. We also bring a professional photographer to capture candid photos of the kids, and hopefully have an opportunity to snap some shots with Mr. Met!

In addition, the trip fee includes a $25 Citi Field gift card, so Campers have spending money for lunch, snacks or souvenirs, since the ballpark is a cashless facility.

The game starts at 1:10 PM, and all buses are expected back on campus by 5 PM.

Programs: 3rd through 8th Grade

Trip Fee: $100
