A visit to the Sauvie Island Center is always a memorable event. We offer elementary school students a guided exploration of the 130 acre Topaz Farm site, which includes our Grow Lunch Garden, farmland, and many other amazing features of the site.
Field trips include:
Sauvie Island Center standard farm field trips coming soon!
*Due to limitations with our transportation partners, field trip days will be slightly shorter.
Email helen@sauvieislandcenter.org for more information.
If you are an educator and would like more information, or to request a standard field trip, visit our Educator Resource page which was developed with support from West Multnomah Soil & Water Conservation District.
For the first time in the history of our organization we are increasing the standard field trip fee from $200 to $250. This is due to rising operation costs over the last few years. We thank you for your support and hope to continue growing with you.
If you’re interested in a field trip for your homeschool group please reach out to Program manager, Helen, at helen@sauvieislandcenter.org with the following information:
