Join us on a trip down south as we visit Bisbee’s Copper Queen Mine and either Kartchner Caverns or Colossal Cave. Suit up in a hard hat and headlamp and climb aboard the miner’s train as you travel 1,500 feet underground. Guided by former miners of the Copper Queen, students learn about life in the mines, and the copper, turquoise, silver, and other metals discovered in the mine. Hop back on the motor coach for a drive through tour of the historical town of Bisbee before heading to Kartchner Caverns.

Split into groups of 20, students and chaperones will rotate between a variety of activities at Kartchner Caverns or Colossal Caves. Activities include touring the limestone caves, walking the nature trail, and learning the cave’s history in the discovery center. We end our day with a dinner stop at R&R Pizza before we head safely back to the school.
