Group Programs

Los Alamos Public School Field Trips

PEEC class

Each year PEEC provides free Field Trips to LAPS classrooms. Students experience nature as young scientists studying soils, plants, habitats and more. All activities are hands-on and meet science standards!

Please contact the PEEC Program Coordinator for upcoming dates and other details about arrangements Programs@PajaritoEEC.org.

Planning a Trip

Students should bring their own snacks to eat during break and dress appropriately for outdoor activities. Transportation must be arranged and paid for by each school. Some schools are within walking distance.


Nature Discovery Programs for Homeschools

PEEC class

At PEEC our mission is to offer education programs that explore the natural world. Introducing the fascinating wonders, elements, colors and textures of nature to our young scientists is an important part of caring for the future of our planet. Our Nature Discovery Programs are customized for homeschool students and aligned with current studies and science standards, when applicable.

PEEC offers an ideal opportunity to present children with the wonders of the natural world through experiential learning. Our Nature Discovery Program includes interactive exhibits that reveal many of nature's wonders. Displays of local animals and plants - including amphibians, birds, butterflies, and fossils - and our nature trail provides for hands-on discoveries and scientific explorations.

Planning a Trip

Nature Discovery classes are 1.5 hours in length for preschool and kindergarten classes and cost $45. 1st through 6th grade classes are 2 hours and cost $60. Please contact Amy Roberts at Amy@PajaritoEEC.org or call the PEEC office for more information or to schedule your visit.


Preschool Discovery Programs

At PEEC our mission is to offer education programs that explore the natural world. Introducing the fascinating wonders, elements, colors and textures of nature to our youngest scientists is an important part of caring for the future of our planet. The preschooler's ability to readily grasp new concepts through hands-on learning ensures that our youngest children benefit greatly from early introductions to the natural world.

PEEC offers an ideal opportunity to present preschoolers with the wonders of the natural world through experiential learning. Our 1 1/2 hour Preschooler Discovery Program presents students with interactive exhibits that reveal many of nature's wonders. Displays of local animals and plants - including amphibians, birds, butterflies, and fossils - and our nature trail provides for hands-on discoveries and an exploration of the five senses.

Planning a Trip

Preschool Discovery classes are 1.5 hours in length. The cost for the class is $45. Please contact Amy Roberts at Amy@PajaritoEEC.org or call the PEEC office for more information or to schedule your visit.
