We believe field trips are the best way to get your class to indulge in the total environmental education experience. We love to take groups fishing, hiking, canoeing as well as modify some of our indoor programs to fit the outdoor environment. You can come to us out at Oak Grove Park or we can come to you. Time fame and content of field trip is negotiable. If you would like to schedule a field trip, please fill out and submit a Program Request Form. Or call 712-552-3057. Please plan ahead as our calendars fill up fast.

Iowa History Field Trip Topics: Multiple Grade Levels
We realize sometimes there is a difference in standards between schools, especially when it comes to Social Studies Topics. Below are history inspired field trips with recommended grade ranges based off activities we have chosen. We are leaving it up to the schools/teachers as to what grade would like to claim these as "their grade" field trips.
