There is an environmental center in Liberty, Utah that caters to the Weber district schools. It's pretty amazing, actually, that they have funding for this. There are 3 classes in Levi's grade at Roosevelt Elementary School and only one parent per class could go. I was blessed enough to be asked!
First we hiked about a half mile up to the main center. After that we broke into groups. We went on a hike that was strenuous, to say the least. Maybe that was because I haven't exercised since we moved back, though.
The guide was so patient with all the kids that wanted to tell him everything they knew about corrosion and the outdoors. It was all very interesting but the changing fall colors on the mountain were hard to keep my eyes off of. And yes, we did climb those mountains!
There were archery and geocaching as well. Geocaching is a treasure hunting game where you use GPS to hide and seek containers with the students.
I even enjoyed the bus ride. It was so beautiful going along Cobble Creek with all those fall colors surrounding it. Just a really great field trip.

here's a little tid-bit for you. I and my bros/sis went to Roosevelt Elementary when we were kids living in Washington Terrace back in the day. I would have been in 1st grade.
