To extend and enrich our students' educational program, site staff members plan special overnight field trips directly related to what is being studied in their classrooms. The overnight field trip to Zion National Park in Utah for 8th grade students at Innovative Horizons Charter School would allow students to engage directly with environmental science, geology, and ecology, enhancing their understanding through real-world experiences. Additionally, the trip fosters teamwork, personal growth, and an appreciation for conservation and sustainability.
