Diggin’s School Tours

Thank you for taking the time to lead a school tour through this year’s Diggin’s Program. We are attempting to touch on as many of the California State Educational Standards as possible. Routes for the tours have been planned. This is so that we do not have tours backing up at stations. Please show up Wednesday, May 28th at 6pm at Diggins Tent town for a brief walk through and a chance to answer any last minute questions.

Notes for event organization.
• Please arrive by 9:00 a.m. for the flag pole meeting/briefing.
• We will prepare a sack lunch for you, your order will be taken after the 9:00 a.m. meeting at the “Meeting Place” across the street. Your choice is meat or veggie.
• We will deliver your lunch and cold drinks to the meeting place so that you can have as long of a rest as possible.
• The last tour ends at 4:00 p.m.

Notes on the Tours.
• Each tour has a planned route so that we don’t have people bunching up at any stations.
• Tours will move at the ringing of the school bell. This will occur every 10 minutes. You have a script, you may use it if you want to, or make up your own dialog with your students. BUT you must follow your route to avoid confusion and cover the State Standards for your group.
• After 45 minutes, your students will have 15 minutes to explore or shop on their own, you can have a break at this time, but return within 15 minutes.
• If you are scheduled for another tour, return to the meeting place. You will begin to gather your next group.


Thank you very, very much for your participation. The school groups generate more than half of the costs for the production of this event. Without you this event could not happen as we could not afford to present it.
