Field Trips

Overnight Field Trips

At Desert Shadows we support the importance of hands-on field trips and promote participation by all students. We provide field trip opportunities for all grade levels and have overnight trips annually for all students in grades 3rd through 6th grade.  

Third graders travel to the Phoenix Zoo to learn all about the animals there. They then get to sleep the night at the zoo!

Fourth grade students hit the road for rafting down the Colorado River and a visit to the Grand Canyon and Hoover Dam.

In Fifth grade, we venture to Universal Studios Hollywood and the California Science Center. Here, students do various STEAM-related activities and learn the real life applications of what they learn in the classroom.

Sixth graders load into buses and travel to San Diego where they focus on a STEAM based field trip. This trip includes SeaWorld, a marine biology boat lab in San Diego Bay, and going kayaking in La Jolla Bay with dolphins!
