    Tours and Field Trips require that you first register for the Extravaganza course, then register for each individual tour that you plan to take. You may add or cancel any of those if your plans change. We need an approximate number of participants for each of these, as some have maximum limits. If you are on the waiting list, we will do our best to accommodate your choices, and notify you if someone drops out.

    Registration for the Extravaganza course automatically includes you for those events held at UMA-Bangor campus and Dirigo. Choose to attend, or watch the recordings which will be available to view for two weeks after each presentation.
