Dear Administrators, Teachers and Parents,
You are probably aware of the Holly Springs Center’s focus on classes, activities, and camps related to its School of Mountain Arts (SOMA). Additionally, we are currently offering field trips to public, private, and home school groups from anywhere. Due to the financial hardship placed upon schools by the pandemic, we have reduced our price to $10 per student for all student groups booking a field trip to our facility. We will abide by all COVID19 safety guidelines suggested by the district for public field trips and will accommodate home school and private schools with the same standards that are in place at their schools for the safety of their students. We hope you will consider bringing your school group to Holly Springs Center, which is in a beautiful setting, on fourteen acres of land with a creek running through the large playground positioned on the edge of the Blue Ridge Escarpment. Instructors of our classes are well seasoned and knowledgeable at teaching their craft and have a high level of expertise. Overall, we offer a unique experience at Holly Springs Center where groups can custom-design a field trip that is age-appropriate, aligns with SC State Standards, and is unlike any other opportunity in our area. Students may take classes in an array of Mountain Arts and Environmental/Nature based courses. We offer the unique opportunity for your students to participate in a field trip that is in short traveling distance, very reasonably priced, and can be comfortably taken advantage of even in inclement weather. We are also able to hold several of our classes in an outdoor setting on many days to accommodate social distancing guidelines and to enjoy the attractive surroundings. Be sure to visit our website or Facebook page for Holly Springs Center. We look forward to answering any questions you may have and serving you and your students on a field trip to the Holly Springs Center. Please E-mail: Pauline Blackston at blackspm1@outlook.com or mthomas@hollyspringscenter.com for more information. Thank you so much for your consideration! Sincerely, Matt Thomas, Executive Director mthomas@hollyspringscenter.com |
