Field Trips Combine Learning and Fun!

CHEAGD field trips are only open to CHEAGD members, so this is another great benefit of membership. Typically, the Field Trip Coordinator schedules a number of trips for the year and then asks for volunteers to lead individual outings. We also encourage members to organize additional trips on their own and invite other members to join them.

Here are some of the trips we have organized over the years:
