A Trip to Catalina Island
Sixth-graders at Liberty have the opportunity to participate in a once in a lifetime trip to Catalina, off the coast of California. Students are able to explore the wonderful island and experience the underwater gardens, which are among the most unique and beautiful in the world. Students embark upon a science adventure that not only teaches marine science and island ecology but also stimulate curiosity for nature and become a treasured memory. The program consists of a series of activities that include snorkeling, oceanography, marine biology labs, and ocean kayaking.
A Visit to CampWay in Prescott
Fifth-graders enjoy a team building overnight getaway to Prescott. CampWay offers NGSS-aligned science lessons in an engaging outdoor setting, where students learn through play and exploration. Over two days of activities, campfires, and team-building, students bond while discovering their role in the environment. The three day trip includes two nights in a cabin and activities such as a giant swing, archery, geocaching, nature walks, and shelter building.
A Visit to the Grand Canyon
Fourth-graders learn about the history and geography of Arizona. At the end of the year the school concludes their studies by taking an overnight trip to Grand Canyon National Park and Walnut Canyon near Flagstaff. Students get a firsthand view of the weathering and erosion that have created the Grand Canyon. Students also learn about the geology and animal habitats in this area in addition to spending time hiking Walnut Canyon and discovering the ruins of the early Arizona people. The Grand Canyon, one of the natural wonders of the world, provides the students with an exciting experience.
