Field Trip Programs

NIFS Field Trip Programs provide meaningful health, fitness and nutrition experiences that teach children the benefits of being healthy now and in the future. Field trip curriculum incorporates the physical education standards developed by the National Association for Sport and Physical Education as well as the health education standards developed by the State of Indiana.

Alarming childhood obesity statistics are garnering increased attention from media, doctors, parents and even restaurant chains. Education plays a critical role in reversing such trends and the NIFS Center for Youth Development is on a mission to provide quality education to as many children as possible. Our field trip program serves more than 15,000 Indiana students annually!
