Meet the Ambassadors - Community Days
Public Education Programs at the Center
We are excited to offer public Meet the Ambassadors Community Days! Our Meet the Ambassadors Community Days are held on the fourth Saturday of each month from 11 am - 12 pm. Reservations cost just $33.00 per person and can be purchased here.
Community Days allow guests to visit the Center and meet the ORC ambassadors as individuals rather than booking as an entire group, making our private tour experience more accessible to the community. Community Day guests will receive the same experience our private program guests receive (program description above).
After reserving a space, you will receive a second email 48 hours before the Community Day you selected to either confirm or cancel the program.
*Note: We require a minimum of 10 tickets sold to confirm a Community Day. If there are enough signups for the program, your payment method will be charged when the program is confirmed. If you need to cancel your space, please do so at least 5 days prior to the program. Cancellations made any later than five days prior to the program cannot be refunded. In the event of rain on the day, we will need to reschedule.
