Overnight accommodations are chosen for comfort, affordability, and hospitality. Our Museum staff develops itineraries rich in cultural and natural history. Classes are small, usually twelve or fewer participants, and they promote individualized attention, while offering a hands-on approach to Museum theme and subject areas. Lectures reflect current Museum exhibits and relevant discussions including topics such as urban growth, wildlife preservation, pioneer history, and American Indian life ways. Scholars and presenters from this state and beyond are selected for their knowledge as well as their ability to convey ideas and viewpoints in thought provoking discussion.
Groups are small, itineraries are planned, and all arrangements made.
On our 4 to 12 day excursions in this region and beyond, become more than a sightseer, and benefit from the specialists and interpreters who provide guided explorations through extraordinary venues. Children can investigate the world around them through hands-on activities. Adults can revisit their childhood by seeing the world through a child's perspective. These programs make connections between cultural and natural wonders through art, inquiry, and experience. Annually, more than 200 volunteers donate over 35,000 hours of their time to The High Desert Museum.
