Educational Field trips on the River
Looking for an educational field trip that blends adventure with hands-on learning? Mother Lode River Center’s River Science program offers an immersive experience perfect for school field trip ideas, homeschool field trips, and science field trips. Our engaging curriculum introduces students to watershed ecology, conservation, and river science while allowing them to explore the natural beauty of the Coloma/Lotus Valley.
Rivers Play a Vital Role
Have you ever noticed how lush and green the riverbanks are? During our River Science program, students examine how these riparian habitats (also known as riparian zones) are more than just beautiful—they are critical to maintaining the health of the atmosphere, water quality, and the sustainability of the surrounding ecosystems and communities. As part of this Coloma field trip, students will explore how these natural environments provide essential resources and habitats for wildlife.

Nestled along the American River, our facility is one of the best field trip destinations for students of all ages. Whether you’re planning field trips for elementary students, middle schoolers, or high schoolers, our educational field trips in California are designed to teach while keeping students actively engaged.
