School & Scout Groups

"I am a fourth-grade teacher and always on the lookout for fun, outdoorsy field trips for my students. RRA was able to customize a learning experience to complement my curriculum. The kids always have a great time!"

School Groups:

Reeves-Reed Arboretum's facilities, which include the Stackhouse Education Center, Roehm Greenhouse, 13 acres of gardens and woodland trails, our historic Wisner House, and of course, our spectacular trees, allow us to offer engaging and unique field trips. Our programs provide students with an inspiring, interactive educational experience that will perfectly complement their classroom instruction. Our field trips cover a variety of topics and are designed to align with the Next Generation Science Standards.

Whichever you choose, your Scouts will be guaranteed an interactive, hands-on lesson out on the beautiful grounds of the Arboretum!

Cost: Scout programs are $80 for 12 or fewer scouts, then $5 per person for each additional scout. Click “Book Now” at the top of this page to view our scheduling website and request a trip.
