While teachers, parents and students (some of which are you) are getting acclimated to the new school year, our center has been working diligently over the past few months with educators to schedule field trip visits for this fall and next spring. And the best part? It’s all FREE! Our center is the best field trip destination in San Antonio, because we provide students with a fun and engaging way to learn about the Edwards Aquifer, explore the wonders of nature, and discover how to protect them both for generations to come.

We know you want your students to learn a ton, have fun, and explore outside the classroom, and there’s no better way to add S.T.E.A.M. learning into your student’s lives than a trip to the Edwards Aquifer Authority Education Outreach Center (EAA EOC)! Dive into the wonders of the Edwards Aquifer through experiential learning with highly trained staff and volunteers.

When taking a field trip to the EAA EOC, we offer free school programs for groups, ranging anywhere from 10 to 100 visitors. Our school programs keep students moving, learning, and having fun! Depending on the group’s size and grade level, they’ll rotate through a variety of exciting education stations, each one offering a new way to explore and connect with the world around them.

Some of the favorites include a hands-on scavenger hunt, the jaw-dropping “Water Magic” show with the Astonishing Mr. Pitts, our engaging Aquifer 101 presentation, up-close encounters with “Water & Wildlife,” and so much more. Every stop is a chance to explore the wonders of science and inspire a love for nature!

Not only will students leave our center with new aquifer knowledge, but they will also go home with some fun EAA EOC goodies! Our center offers a variety of curated promotional items that teachers can hand out to their students, from pencils to threatened and endangered species stickers, students leave our center with a thoughtful reminder of their memorable field trip experience.

Through our hands-on activities and interactive exhibits , students not only gain a deeper understanding of water conservation and nature but also develop a lifelong appreciation for the nature around them. Every visit is an opportunity to spark curiosity and empower the next generation to make a positive impact on our planet.

We also know that transportation costs can be tricky, and that’s why we have a travel support application available for reimbursement of travel expenses! All you have to do is apply through our website, it’s that easy. After reviewing your application, one of our staff members will notify you of our decision. This funding is a reimbursement for expenses and may not cover the full amount—but it’s a fantastic opportunity to receive valuable travel support!
