Muddy Sneakers joined the NC Science Trail early in 2025 and they have quickly become a huge part of our Science Trail Teacher Resources. They’ve joined us at events to meet educators and are looking to help teachers across the state find meaningful ways to incorporate life-changing opportunities into their science education lesson plans. If you are looking to bring fun, hands-on, exploratory learning to your classroom, contact Erica Brown directly, or reach out to us at the NC Science Trail. We’re always happy to help connect you with our partners or answer additional questions.

Muddy Sneakers provides a powerful solution for educators who want to enhance science education beyond the classroom. Our Choose Your Own Adventure (CYOA) programs offer engaging, standards-aligned field trips and in-school outreach programs designed to spark curiosity, deepen understanding, and connect students with the natural world.
Whether exploring a local park, stream, or forest, CYOA field trips transform the outdoors into a living laboratory. Each lesson is led by a trained outdoor educator and tailored to meet the needs of your students and your curriculum goals. For schools unable to travel, our outreach programs bring the excitement of experiential learning directly to your schoolyard.
We collaborate closely with educators and administrators to make programs accessible and easy to implement, requiring minimal planning on your part. From logistics and materials to lesson alignment and safety, we handle it all—so you can focus on what matters most: your students.
Educators consistently tell us how much they appreciate how Muddy Sneakers builds confidence, teamwork, and a love of learning in their students. Our programs aren’t just memorable—they’re transformative.
At Muddy Sneakers, we believe science education should be active, place-based, and joyful. If you agree and are ready to create meaningful, memorable science experiences for your students, visit muddysneakers.org.
