WEEKLY SCHEDULE

MONDAY – FIELD TRIPS

This is a group activity that travels to interesting sights throughout Southern Arizona. The trips include destinations such as Kitt Peak, Biosphere II, Copper Mine Tours, Madera Canyon, Ghost Town explorations and State Parks. These activities require some walking and occasional off trail travel such as the ghost town exploration and gem and mineral collecting.

TUESDAY AND THURSDAY – SPORTS DAY

Sports day includes participating in a wide variety of traditional (basketball, baseball, soccer, football golf, tennis etc...) and non – traditional (horseshoes, Frisbee, croquet, dodge ball, kickball etc...) sports activities. Participants in this active group are taught basic skills for each sport as well as teamwork and cooperation in achieving team goals. Individual skills in each sport are also practiced. There may be an occasional fee of $5.00 if the group is practicing golf at the driving range or if the group is bowling.

WEDNESDAY – HIKING/FISHING

This activity includes hiking on designated National Forest Service hiking trails throughout Southern Arizona. We hike some of the most beautiful trails in the entire country. The fishing activity uses lakes that are located south of Tucson such as Patagonia Lake, Pena Blanca Lake or Arivaca Lake. The activity requires the participant to walk a number of miles on trails that are up hill, rocky and uneven. The hiking group typically walks about six miles per hike. The fishing is off shore and we walk along the lake shore in search of good fishing sites. Backpacks are very useful and can be supplied if the participant does not have one of their own.

FRIDAY – ENTOMOLOGY/ROCK HOUNDING/BOTONY

Exploration of the world of insects and plants as well as searching for precious and non-precious rocks and minerals is the objective of this group. We travel to unique settings throughout Southern Arizona. The participants of this group will be required to travel on trails that are rocky, uneven and up hill. At times, the group will be searching for gems and minerals next to or in the middle of streams and creeks with running water.
