Past Field Trips
The Gila Catwalk
Our FREE overnight Gila Catwalk Trip was a breathtaking adventure filled with canyon hikes, campfire stories, and stargazing. Families left with lasting memories and a deeper connection to New Mexico’s wild beauty.
Copper Mine Tour
We stepped back in time to a local copper mine where children learned about the mining process, geology, and the impact of mining on the environment.
Lavender Farm
We visited Floren Family Farms in Tularosa, NM to learn about lavender. We watched bees at work, picked stems to make beautiful bouquets and enjoyed outdoor games in the field.
Three Rivers Petroglyph Site
While hiking on the 1-mile trail, we viewed the intricate rock art, while learning how the mysterious ancient symbols and figures, depicting wildlife, human forms, and geometric shapes, convey a rich narrative of early life and spirituality.
