All right, listen up.

Here's a Varsity Quiz-style question just for you: Which local nonprofit organization partners with CCSD schools to take students on educational field trips?

Any guesses?

-Get Outdoors Nevada!

-Yay!

If you all guessed Get Outdoors Nevada, you are right.

And we were lucky enough to tag along on one of those awesome field trips.

Check it out.

♪♪♪ -Fourth graders at McCaw STEAM Academy boarded a bus and headed off on a fun adventure.

(Iris) Who's ready for a field trip today?

(students) Me!

-But before arriving at their first field trip destination, a few Nevada history lessons.

-All right, guys.

So what was the name of Hoover Dam before it was called Hoover Dam?

(a student) Boulder Dam.

-Boulder Dam, that's right.

And Boulder City gets its name from Boulder Dam.

And Boulder Dam gets its name from Boulder Canyon.

-From the bus to the trains.

-Choo choo!

All aboard!

[train whistle] (tour guide) Welcome to the Nevada State Railroad Museum.

We are one of the seven state museums here.

(Joe Kennedy) We have trains that were actually involved in the construction of the Hoover Dam, which is something that they're learning about in their classroom right now in their Nevada State History lessons.

So coming out and actually seeing them, being able to experience them, walk through them, it brings what they're learning in their classroom, it really brings it to life.

-You look to your left, what do you think that is?

It's a caboose.

-This exciting... (Valentina) My favorite part was going in the, in the big ones and looking all over and, like, experience it how like it is in real life.

-...and educational field trip... (Xavier Salom) Discovering about trains, how it powers it; travel, what it was like back in the day.

-...one of 20 CCSD field trips organized by Get Outdoors Nevada this school year alone.

As a nonprofit, Get Outdoors Nevada relies on community support, and that includes support from former CCSD educators.

-Alison Kasner was one of the family members that's here with us, and Alison actually started these trips because she was a CCSD educator and a CCSD principal.

She was a CCSD special education teacher for many years, and so she has a deep passion for the learning experiences for students that can happen outside of the classroom.

-Organizers hope these great field trips spark curiosity.

-Question?

-Where was the toilet in there?

[laughter] -The students walk away with lifelong memories and a new found appreciation for Nevada history and the outdoors.

-I love getting outdoors because I get to, like, experience the world.

I love how they just teach us so much new things, and they teach us all the history of Nevada.

And we can share it to all our family members and our friends.

-Thank you!

-You're welcome.

I hope you guys have learned so much today.

-We have.

-And may have spiked some interest in learning some more about something.

-Yes, learning how they were able to get their bathroom time in privacy.

[laughter] -Getting on those trains was pretty cool.

So much history, and watching the kids' reaction was also pretty awesome.

Special thank-you to the wonderful teachers and staff at McCaw STEAM Academy and our friends at Get Outdoors Nevada for letting us come along for the ride.
