Field Trip: Surviving the Outdoors: Grades 6 to 8

Throughout history, humans have found ways to survive in the wilds of our world. During this trip, students will learn skills for finding food and water and building shelters outdoors. They will explore the ways animals survive in the wild and discuss how humans have emulated those adaptations for generations. This program is offered year-round!

Field trips are 2 hour guided programs led by Teacher Naturalists and are held outdoors. Schools are welcome to extend the field trip with an outdoor picnic lunch/snack and a visit to the nature play area. School groups are divided into groups of 15 students with 1 Teacher Naturalist.
