Chaperone a learning expedition. At Normal Park, our parents are active participants in our student learning expeditions to our museum partners. Choose at least one learning expedition every 9 weeks to attend with your child. Please note the maximum volunteer hours provided for day trips is 5 hours and 8 hours for overnight learning expeditions. All chaperones must have a valid background check to assist with learning expeditions and be responsible for a group of students. No volunteer hours are given for learning expeditions to the IMAX.
