Weeklong School Field Studies Program

This is the ultimate field trip that will energize your students by immersing them in field studies for an intensive 5 days of experiential learning in Zion National Park. This interdisciplinary program is led by naturalists and geologists who will introduce your students to the greater Zion ecosystem using the natural sciences, arts and humanities. From learning how Zion canyon was carved by geologic processes to learning observation skills by keeping field journals, your students will be encouraged to develop new talents and improve skills that they already possess. Students will gain an appreciation for the roles of humans in ecosystems as they delve into the history of people who settled the Zion Canyon area. They will be introduced to southwestern writers whose topics included Zion and the natural world. They will enjoy trailside interpretation, hands-on exercises in research and in the sciences and develop a taste for all the outdoors has to offer them.
