Field Trips

To participate in a field trip, please contact our Field Trip Coordinator:

Jean Lovell 480-883-9672 or travelbugs04@wbhsi.net

Field trips are a major part of the club offerings and are available monthly. Under the direction of the Field Trip Coordinator, we travel throughout Arizona and the near West looking for precious rocks that can be turned into jewelry, bookends, fetish bears, ming tree bases and other creative projects. Museum visits and mine tours are also offered. This is a wonderful way to learn more about Arizona and members are often able to enter areas not open to the general public.
