Payment

Facility use is charged as two separate bills:
1.) Dorm, meals, marine educator, canoes, etc.
2.) Vessels (excluding canoes)

You should not pay the bill until the end of the trip because your activities may have been different than originally planned due to fewer people or unpredictable weather, and you want to pay the correct amount.

For reservations contact Cindy Sevin @ (985) 851-2802 and for more information contact the Marine Education Staff.
