Organized groups may request use of the Babler OEC through our application process as follows:

1. Organized groups may request use of the Babler Outdoor Education Center (OEC) by submitting a request using the link below. All requests will be confirmed via email by our PRCE staff.
2. Requests for the current calendar year are open and ongoing. While groups will be able to view available dates once your account is created, please note that some dates will not be available due to facility maintenance.
3. Requests for the next calendar year will be accepted beginning August 1 for groups that serve individuals with disabilities. All other requests will be accepted beginning October 1. Requests will be considered based on the eligibility/priority of the user group and the order in which they were received.

Groups are encouraged to contact the Babler OEC office to schedule a tour of the facility after an account is created and dates are requested. Groups are responsible for reading and following all policies and procedures prior to and during their stay.

Once the submitted group request is approved, a 25% deposit of estimated usage fees will be required.

To cancel a reservation, please notify Community Education immediately at info@prcommunityed.org. Deposits will be refunded with a 60-day written notice, with no deposit being given for less than 60 days' notice. Cancellation within 30 days of reservation will require payment of full usage costs according to estimated numbers provided in the request.
