Teachers must pick them up and drop them off during regular business hours. We cannot ship them.

Borrowing either kit is easy as 1-2-3!

1) Contact the Falls of the Ohio State Park by the internet at park@fallsoftheohio.org or by phone at (812) 280-9970 to find out if the trunk is available on the dates you request.

2) When you come to pick it up, you will fill out a loan form. This confirms that you will be responsible for the trunk and it contents.

 3) Return the trunk on the date it is due and let us know how many students benefited from its use. You may call to extend the loan by one week the day before it is scheduled for return to the Interpretive Center if there has been no request by another educator.
