Request a Free Museum Field Trip

The OERB realizes how enriching hands-on experiences can be for students. That is why we created a field trip program allowing classes to visit museums across the state with petroleum and energy exhibits.

Please read all instructions before scheduling your field trip. 

How to get free museum admittance for your class

1. Complete the full age and subject appropriate OERB curriculum in your classroom.
2. Submit the Field Trip Request Form and allow two weeks for processing.
   – NEW THIS YEAR: Transportation Reimbursement will be reserved for schools or districts with demonstrated financial need. To verify eligibility, submit your transportation reimbursement request immediately after submitting your field trip request. A letter of need on school or district letterhead is required for consideration. 
3. Once your field trip has been approved, you will receive an email from teachers@oerb.com notifying you of the approval.  If you do not receive an approval email after two weeks, please contact Teachers@oerb.com.
4. After you have received your approval email, you may schedule your field trip by contacting the museum of your choice directly. Be sure to tell the museum that you are part of the OERB field trip program. Keep in mind that museum availability may vary, so plan accordingly when teaching your curriculum.
   – If you are not approved by the OERB and / or not scheduled for an OERB specific field trip, we cannot guarantee that we will pay for admission.

Eligibility

• The OERB will pay for one field trip, per student, per school year. 
• Students in your class are eligible for the field trip only upon completion of an OERB curriculum. 
• Educators must be teaching the designated grade level and subject for which the curriculum is intended.

At the museum

• All museums require an adequate number of sponsors. Please be sure to ask the museum at the time you schedule your trip. The OERB will pay admission for the required number of sponsors. Any additional sponsors will need to pay their own admission.
• Each museum has either an energy class or energy-based exhibit, which will be included in your field trip as a supplement to the OERB curriculum. These are mandatory for all OERB-sponsored field trips.
• Many of our museums have a sign, thanking the people of Oklahoma oil and natural gas for funding your field trip. Be sure to take a photo with this sign and upload it to HomeRoom so we can share how much fun you had on your field trip!
