Confirmations and Details
Teachers or group leaders will receive a confirmation and invoice when booking process is complete. The USS Constitution Museum uses Zoom for virtual field trips, but staff can work with groups with other platform preferences. The Education Coordinator will send the link to access programs 48 hours before the scheduled program time. Group leaders should ensure they have access to a device that can use Zoom prior to the program. The link can be shared with students individually if they will be joining the program from home. On the day of the program, the link will be available 10 minutes before the scheduled start time. Please arrive early if schedules allow.
Changes & Cancellations
The museum requires changes or cancellations at least one week prior to the date of the program. All efforts will be made to reschedule, as there are no refunds on virtual programs.
Educator Resources
We encourage you to supplement your virtual program with lesson plans and activities from our Educator Resources. The USS Constitution Museum is committed to providing teachers with the tools and support they need to teach about USS Constitution and the War of 1812.
