Fall Programs 2020

FIELDGUIDES is offering a variety of backpacking and camping trips this fall with varying educational enrichment components. All programs involve a high level of physical activity and may be a great way to help your student earn physical education credits via a credit/flex program at your school.  FIELDGUIDES can work closely with families to help students earn credit through their school for participation in one of our programs. If you are interested in alternate hike dates, please reach out and we can work with you to find a time that works. We would also be happy to coordinate with families already utilizing "pods" to accommodate your COVID comfort levels.

"My son loved the program and would love to do it again. We felt very safe about all the health precautions. Thank you so much. Being able to go on a group backpacking trip with other teens was especially important this year. The trip provided a tremendous boost to my son's self confidence and overall wellbeing. Can't tell you how glad I am that he was able to participate." -Parent, Summer 2020
