Experiences/ Field Trips

Friday, March 31st: Base Camp at Fort Snelling, MN

Students in the Frog and Woodland Critter classrooms will be going this Friday to Base Camp- an inspiring active learning center in Fort Snelling, MN. Students will have the opportunity to experience activities promoting team building, rock climbing, rope courses, and STEM activities.

Students need closed-toed shoes (tennis shoes) for Friday. Please make sure they aren't wearing their snow boots or sandals on this trip, as that will make some of the activities hard to complete. They will also need to bring a cold lunch and a water bottle. We will be leaving as close to 8:30am as possible, so please make sure your student is at school by 8:15am. to get ready.  It is sure to be a fun experience for our students!

Students will be able to explore MN ecosystems and learn about nature doing a variety of fun activities! From studying it in the classroom to being able to experience it outside, that's where learning becomes an adventure!

Cost is $175 payable by cash, check, or online (Square) HERE.
