Some Tips for Group Reservations and Educational Fee Waivers

**Please read all information carefully**

1\. It is best if you can provide us with 2-3 weeks notice. We are
unable to provide special programs such as Interpretive Programs or a
DVD of the park films if we do not have this notice.

2\. Please try to get the documentation back to us as soon as possible.
Once we have received all of the needed documentation, we will send out
a confirmation letter.

3\. Due to concerns about impacts on the historic resources at
Appomattox Court House, we are not able to accommodate multiple large
groups at one particular time. If there is a conflict, we will contact
you and try to accommodate all groups requesting a reservation.

4\. If you are leading a group of students please read the requirements
for chaperones in the confirmation document. Teachers and group leaders
are responsible for their students.

**School Groups and Curriculum Based Education Programs**

Is this part of a curriculum-based education program? \_\_\_\_\_\_Yes
\_\_\_\_\_\_\_No

Educational fee waivers are granted to groups who are visiting the park
as part of a curriculum based educational program (schools, Elderhostel,
home school group) as long as the visit corresponds directly to a course
of study. If the fee waiver is granted, the waiver covers the student,
teachers, and bus drivers, along with one additional adult chaperone per
10 students.

**\*\*Note: If you are a tour company arranging a visit for a school or
educational group, this information must be forwarded to the educational
institution.\*\***

Waiver requests must include all three of the following and can be faxed
to the above number:

1.  Waiver must be requested in advance, in writing on the institution
    letterhead and addressed to the Park Superintendent, P. O. Box 218,
    Appomattox, VA 24522.

2.  Documentation of official recognition as an educational institution
    by a federal, state or local entity (can be a tax exemption
    certificate).

3.  Statement of relationship between visit purpose and facility use,
    including lesson plan and objectives to be accomplished by your
    visit. (A general statement to the effect that the visit is for
    "educational purposes" is not sufficient.)

Please fill out the following information and fax to 434-352-8330,
Attention Group Tours Coordinator.

Call 434-352-8987 x 31 with any questions.

**(If you are an educational group requesting a fee waiver, be sure to
include all the needed fee waiver documentation)**
