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 Grant

For schools with restricted travel budgets, we have a limited number of travel grants available. This offer applies to schools who are attending one of our education programs with at least 50% of their students on a free or reduced lunch program. Our grant is structured according to the distance schools travel to reach the park:
<150 miles-$150
>150 miles and <300 miles-$400
>300 miles-$600

This grant is made possible by Grand Canyon National Park Foundation.  They typically disburse grant money as a reimbursement and send a check one to two weeks after your visit. Our funding is usually exhausted by early May.

To apply, complete a Travel Grant form and fax it or mail it to our office. To learn more, e-mail or phone our office at (928) 638-7931.
