The 2005 Parks in Focus trip was the best yet. The participants learned more, photographed more, and generally did more. Education Programs Intern Marcos Orozco (a 2003 & 2004 Udall Scholar) brought his experience teaching science to middle school students and his enthusiasm for environmental education to the Parks in Focus trip to Sedona and the Grand Canyon. Marcos worked with Program Manager Melissa Millage to construct field guides and trip journals, and he served as a naturalist guide during the trip.

Aided with binoculars and field guides, participants sought out and were excited by what they saw, identified, and tracked. The enthusiasm of the staff was contagious—the kids couldn’t help but catch it.

The standout activity of the week was hiking into the Grand Canyon. The goal was to hike three quarters of a mile into the Canyon, eat packed lunches at 16 “Ooh Ahh Point,” and then hike back out. However, participants decided to push on another three quarters of a mile to “Cedar Point.” The extra effort was definitely worth it, as the panoramic views from Cedar Point were like nothing previous participants had ever seen or photographed. The sky was clear and bright blue, and it felt like the canyon was wide open to the kids and their cameras’ lenses.
