"Challenging presentations, well-prepared instructors.
They presented a difficult topic in a sensitive, encompassing,
personal and well-anchored manner. All aspects of the program were
well-directed, had specific objectives, clear goals and were enjoyable.
(The curriculum) captured the imagination and interest of our students."

How to Plan a School or Youth Program

Are you ready to start planning your next Land or River Education Adventure with CFI?

Even if you are in the beginning stages of the process, we are here to help. We take pride in helping you select a School or Youth Program that best suits your group size, educational goals, time frame, and budget. Call CFI to discuss the best options for your group and specifics of the trip planning processes including: locations, curriculum, travel logistics, cost, discounts, and more!

We suggest you start 9 to 12 months in advance and no less than 2 months in advance to secure the optimal trip dates and locations for smooth logistical planning. Estimating your group’s size can help determine the potential River and Land-based Programs available to your unique group. Talk to one of our experienced staff today to learn more about the educational experiences we offer at competitive rates.

“All lessons were hands-on, real-life, high impact, and were taught with meaningful expectations – therefore, they produced a great response from the students ...
A highlight was the bonding among a diverse group of students in one of the most beautiful places on earth.”

Principal Melinda Snow,
Grand County Middle School, Moab, UT
— one of the many adults/mentors who has reflected on this unique opportunity with Canyonlands Field Institute as a “hands- on,” “real- life,” experience where students tend to develop a stronger bond.
