Our summers are full of field trips. Most are day trips but a few involve overnight stays. We have an easy, two number rating system to aid parents and others in deciding if a particular field trip may be right for them. The system rates the difficulty in getting to the site and the difficulty in extracting the rocks. Many trips are child-friendly.

The field trips are privately arranged and are simply presented here so our members may take advantage of those that are of interest. If you are interested in participating in one of these trips, contact the name listed below for more details. Also, look for the sign up sheet at each meeting. Field trips do occassionally get canceled. Only those people who signed up will be called in that case.

Visit our monthly meetings to get the details on field trips.

If you have any questions please e-mail fieldtrips (at) northseattlerockclub.org
