RSS School Group Experience Opportunities

Horizons Unlimited offers a plethora of engaging, hands-on, cross-curricular learning experiences, kits, and other resources aligned to the NC Standard Course of Study.

Field trips to Horizons Unlimited and walking tours are designed to give students and teachers enriching, hands-on learning opportunities beyond the classroom. Each grade-level specific program is thoughtfully crafted to meet the NCSCOS, and offers developmentally appropriate, experience-based lessons that engage students in meaningful exploration. 

Kits include everything needed to bring engaging experiences directly to your classroom, and deliver meaningful, interactive lessons without all the prep. If you need specific resources to carry out an investigation or lab, please view the Equipment Checkout list in the K-8th Science Program Guide below and contact us for the availability of resources.

All experiences and resources are offered to Rowan-Salisbury Schools at no cost, however, schools will be responsible for transportation to/from experiences, and pick up/return of kits and other resources. Requests are filled on a first come, first served basis, with field trips to Horizons Unlimited being scheduled a semester in advance. 

Below you will find Social Studies and Science program guides, as well as links to request kits, resources, and walking tours.
