Los Alamos Public School Field Trips

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!

The following is a schedule of when programs are offered:

  • First, Second, and Third Grade field trips are offered each Spring.
  • Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Grade field trips are offered each Fall.
  • Middle and High School field trips may be arranged throughout the year.

Please contact the PEEC Program Coordinator for upcoming dates Programs@PajaritoEEC.org.

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.
