    Crane Trunks are available year-round. Reservations will be taken on a first-come, first-served basis, so please note that there may be a higher demand during April, May, September and October. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee that our materials will be available on time with less than two weeks’ notice, so plan on requesting trunks at least one month in advance. Reservations may be made for a seven-day period.


    You can choose to pick up or return your trunk at the International Crane Foundation’s headquarters in Baraboo, Wisconsin, or materials can be shipped to you and returned with a postage fee. Trunks that are shipped should be returned to the International Crane Foundation within three days of the end of the seven-day rental period. For directions to our site, click here.
