Chimney Rock State Park Field Trip

Join us for a day of adventure at Chimney Rock State Park. We will arrive for check in at 9:45 am. Then, kids will cycle through 2 programs (about 30 min each) before we break for lunch.  The programs are:

Basically Bats

Are bats blind? Do they all drink blood? Join a naturalist and do some myth busting about bats. Learn about the misunderstood mammals in a fun interactive program. Learn about the misunderstood mammals in a fun and interactive program. Students will explore the secret life of bats and become bats while playing a game of "Bat/Moth."

Geology ROCKS

Is there a better place to learn about rocks than Chimney Rock? We think not. Students will begin the program by participating in a hands-on "rock lab," followed by a geology hike up the Outcroppings trail. We promise you will have a rockin' good time.

After the programs, we will enjoy a picnic lunch. Following lunch, we will meet our naturalist and begin our geology hike. The hike will last about an hour.  When our hike is finished, we are welcomed to enjoy the park on our own until close.

The cost is $14 per adult site fee, $11 for students 5-15 years plus site fee.   Children under 5 are complimentary.  We will be hiking and it will not be stroller friendly.  If you plan to bring littles/babies, a carrier would definitely be your best bet. Payment is required to reserve your spot.  Registration will close on October 30 or when full. No refunds will be availabe after registration closes on October 30.  If you are unable to attend, please cancel your registration on the website so that waitlist will be notified.  I will not be able to find someone to fill your spot.  This will be up to you after registration closes.
