Rock Eagle 4-H Center: Environmental Education
Residential Field Study Trip Planner - Residential Class Request
Our classes have been correlated to the current state standards. If you need help making decisions about classes, we will be happy to assist you.
Once the class selections are decided upon, mail or fax the class request form (doc). Don't forget to include any equipment needed for the independent classes and to provide a tentative list of any special needs or dietary restrictions. The class request form should be sent one month prior to your field study.
Due to the unique hands-on nature of this program, it is important that we receive maximum advanced notice of any needed disability accommodations.
Follow the below guidelines to determine how many classes your field study will include.
Two Night Trips
- Choose five day classes for Rock Eagle staff to teach and one day class for school staff to lead (independent class).

Themes
All of our classes are built around various themes, allowing students to make comparisons and ask questions about a variety of topics within the same class. The four themes Rock Eagle offers are: Ecology, Living History, Team Building, and Outdoor Skills. Read through the class descriptions to determine if they will fit with your school's curriculum.
Independent Classes
Independent classes are specifically designed for teachers to lead. Class outlines for independent classes are available on this site. AV equipment is available upon request.
