Other Expenses
In your planning be sure to calculate costs of transportation to and from the class site as well as costs for fuel while traveling about the park. Some of these costs can be reduced by carpooling.

Park stores provide an opportunity to obtain limited groceries, souvenirs, film etc. Prices are necessarily higher than might be available at home.
