Travelin' Trunk Program

Bring Grand Canyon to your classroom! The Grand Canyon Field Institute offers Travelin' Trunks that are available for use in your classroom. Each trunk is loaded with lesson plans related to Grand Canyon, as well as many of the materials needed for the lessons. Topics include geology, ecology and human history. They can be sent to your school, regardless of what state you live in, for a minimal charge that covers shipping.

Travel Grants

For schools with restricted travel budgets, we have a limited number of travel grants available. This offer applies to schools who are registered for one of our curriculum-based education programs, and have at least 50% of their students on a free or reduced lunch program.

This grant is made possible by the Grand Canyon Association and the Toyota Foundation.  They typically disburse grant money as a reimbursement and send a check one to two weeks after your visit.

To apply, complete a Travel Grant form and fax it or mail it to our office. To download an application, or to contact our office, go to the Plan a Field Trip web page and scroll to the bottom of the page.
