INFORMATION FOR TEACHERS ON FIELD TRIPS
Educational field trips can effectively provide extended instruction and enriched student experiences beyond the regular classroom environment.  The Imogen F Wilson Education Foundation and the Grant County Archaeological Society plan student and adult visits to meet the needs of schools and curriculums.  Safety is a priority for us.
    • Requests for field trips should be made at least 3 weeks in advance.
    • We request one adult for every 5 students.
    • Most activities are out- of- doors so wear appropriate shoes and clothing including a hat.
    • New Mexico COVID mandates will be enforced.
    • We divide students into groups to attend centers for activities including a hike to the river.
    • Bring water.
    • There is plenty of room on the porch for lunch. Sometimes lunch is at the river so bring a garbage sack for waste.
    • We have an indoor restroom for females and an outdoor Porta Pot for males unless it is a small group.
    • Cameras are allowed.
    • The gift shop is available for all visitors.  We allow only 4 students inside at a time.
    • We are not responsible for lost or broken items.
    • Our student field trip programs are free of charge, but donations are always welcomed.
