School Field Trips
At Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge
Take your students on a field trip to a National Wildlife Refuge to view and learn about the wildlife and habitat anytime of the year.
- Each field trip is grade specific and correlated to Colorado Academic Standards.
- Teacher-led field trips to the Refuge are typically self-guided.
- The Refuge requires a ratio of 1 adult to every 10 students.
- There are outdoor lunch facilities available for use.
- Depending on selected dates, rangers may be available to lead a 20-minute Ranger Talk.
- Due to high demand for our free field trip visits and limited space*, all educators and group leaders are required to schedule their group's trip in advance with the Refuge. Scheduling is available the following times:
- September through May: Wednesday through Friday from 9:00 am - 3:00 pm
For availability and scheduling, contact the Refuge at RockyMountainArsenal@fws.gov.
*Priority given to Title I Schools
