MEANDER Field Trip
Home
MEANDER Field Trips provide a grade specific outdoor education experience for students in grades 3 - 5. Participants hike along trails in the natural riparian (riverside) ecosystem, and engage in activities connected to NGSS and California's Environmental Principals and Concepts. Students will use their senses and minds to become scientists in their local environment.
Field Trip cost: $275 for a class of no more than 32 students. We can accommodate up to three classes of students at a time.
