Waterlife Discovery Center Field Trips

Every spring, hundreds of 2nd and 3rd grade elementary students enjoy an adventurous day of natural resource education at the Waterlife Discovery Center. These field trips are a "go to" for elementary teachers due to our excellent instructors and ability to teach to state learning standards. Coordinated by the Lakes Commission, Idaho Fish and Game and numerous IDFG Master Naturalist volunteers.
