Field TripS
This field trip experience offers an exciting blend of education and adventure, tailored specifically for school groups, youth programs, and curious explorers. Students are invited to dive into a variety of interactive attractions that make learning feel like play.
One of the most popular features is the Gem/Arrowhead Mine activity, where each participant receives a bag of mining material and heads to the water wheel sluice for a hands‑on treasure hunt. As students sift through the flowing water, they uncover gems, minerals, and arrowheads, turning the activity into a memorable discovery experience. This tactile, sensory‑rich station encourages curiosity, teamwork, and excitement as students reveal their own take‑home treasures.
Beyond the mining adventure, the field trip includes thrilling and educational attractions and experiences that immerse students in nature, wildlife, and exploration. Students will be led on a guided tour around the property, followed by lunch (school provided) at our pavilion. These experiences are designed to keep groups engaged, active, and learning throughout their visit—making it an ideal choice for teachers seeking both enrichment and fun.
