Discovery Field Trips

Summer months

Join other Wyoming middle school students on a great adventure throughout the Greater Yellowstone region. Wouldn't you like to observe wildlife, camp in Yellowstone National Park, learn about the ancient Native people who lived in the region, and make new friends this summer? Participants become scientists throughout the week, contemplate their role in the natural world, develop leadership skills, and learn to solve complex problems.

Programs are open to students entering 7th, 8th, or 9th grade in the coming fall.

For more information or questions about future Discovery Field Trips, please contact Emily Buckles, or by phone 307.578.4110.
