Field Trips-8.jpg

We take education out into Nature's biggest classroom: The Great Outdoors! Exploring outside is serious learning!
Join us to walk in the woods, hike a trail, canoe a stream, or slog through a bog. We will be looking for birds, flowers, salamanders, stars, bugs, rocks, and all of the wonders in our beautiful world.


We offer lessons in science and life from our award-winning science camp, Gross Out Camp, to weekend family
adventures, school field trips, after school programs and more. Our calendar provides a comprehensive round-up of
outdoor events, mostly free, throughout Alabama.

Fresh Air Family's annual FUNraiser, The Wacky Tacky Light Tour, provides fun for riders and

financial aid for campers whose families cannot afford to attend Fresh Air Family's award-winning science

camp, Gross out Camp. Through events like the Wacky Tacky Light Tour and generous donors, Fresh

Air Family was able to provide more than  $110,000 in financial assistance in summer 2025 to help kids

and families!
