Field trips to the Center are all about helping kids have a powerful and fun learning experience. The Center is a place where students can be out in a mountain environment to see and feel the interactions there. It is a place where students can be challenged with fun and exciting activities they will remember for a lifetime.
Field trips also aim to build teamwork and cooperation and to allow students to discover new things about themselves and their abilities.
To accomplish these objectives we must limit the number of people at the Center at one time. Maximum group size target is 80 people.
The Environmental Center has materials and equipment to help you engage your students during your time at the Center.
