Liberty Balloon

 


Scheduling

Our entire program is very flexible, designed to accomodate various school schedules. We want to ensure the program we schedule will be the very best for you. You can tell us what you would like the slide presentation to emphasize. We will ask you if would like 2 or more sessions to achieve smaller, more focused groups for more focused training, or perhaps you would prefer to minimize cost with a single program. Would you like an outdoor demonstration if weather permits, or indoor? Or both?

Our program can take many forms. Here two common examples.

 
This school wants students to have the most possible learning and excitement from their balloon experience. So they take the full day option, hoping for an outdoor demonstration early in the day, then slide presentations and indoor inflations during the rest of the day. If weather prohibits an outdoor inflation they will have indoor programs with basket demos during the day. This is a K-5 school with an 8:00 start time. (Total cost: $1150)
