Field Trips That Make an Impact: Educational Adventure at ACE

When it comes to planning a school field trip, finding the perfect balance of education, excitement, and meaningful connection can be a challenge. That’s why so many educators turn to ACE Adventure Resort—a destination where learning comes to life in the heart of the West Virginia mountains.

Whether you’re teaching biology, physics, environmental science, or leadership and life skills, ACE offers the space and experiences to extend the classroom into the outdoors.

Hands-On Learning in Nature’s Classroom
At ACE, students don’t just hear about ecosystems—they live in them. Our 1,500-acre property is full of opportunities for hands-on exploration. A walk along our wooded trails becomes a lesson in Appalachian flora and fauna. A day on the New River transforms into a live demonstration of erosion, sedimentation, and hydrology.

Need to reinforce lessons on physical science? Our zipline canopy tour becomes a thrilling way to experience gravity, force, and momentum in action.

Custom Itineraries for Every Grade Level
Every school group is different, so we work with educators to build custom itineraries that align with your goals. Whether you’re bringing 5th graders for a day of discovery or high school seniors for a final bonding experience, our Group Sales team will help you build the right schedule.

You can include:

Guided hikes and nature interpretation

Whitewater rafting or lake-based activities

Challenge courses that foster collaboration

STEM-focused talks or add-on learning sessions

Evening campfires with time for reflection

Safe, Structured, and Age-Appropriate
We understand that student safety and structure are top priorities. Our team of trained guides and facilitators are experts at managing large youth groups with care and professionalism. We help keep students engaged, safe, and having fun—all while ensuring the experience stays appropriate for their age and ability level.

All activities are fully insured, and our team will walk you through necessary waivers, medical forms, and chaperone ratios before your visit.

Beyond the Bus Ride: Making Lasting Memories
