VIRTUAL FIELD TRIPS

Schedule a live experience with one of our enthusiastic, experienced educators. We will visit your class virtually to guide students through a photo and video tour of Bluff Lake. We set aside plenty of time throughout the presentation to check students’ learning and answer their questions.

How Does It Work?

Choose one of our themes (see below), or request a customized theme. We can also customize any theme for any grade level.
Resources with an asterisk include both English and Spanish text. For any theme, our educators can speak in English, Spanish, or a combination of the two while leading the trip.
Virtual trips last from 45-75 minutes.
You are welcome to download the free presentation slides, corresponding question sheet, or additional activity resources to supplement whichever trip you choose (see below).
