January 2018 we began teaching a national park class to children at Davis Middle School. Fall of 2022 we are now working with the kids at Lamar Elementary. The class focused on educating the kids about America's National Parks and the National Park Service. We also discussed ecology, conservation and our environment. Our group of kids went on multiple trips to the San Antonio Zoo and ended the semester with a trip to Padre Island National Seashore near Corpus Christi, TX.

On June 22, 2023 the high school students from San Antonio CAN Academy loaded up the van and headed to Guadalupe River State Park for a day of fun and a hike with a ranger. We had a picnic, threw the football and of course they headed for the water. We had an excellent time. We have to give a shout out to the superintendent, Barrett Durst, and the kind folks at Guadalupe River State Park for hosting our group.

This was a fun, educational ride. During the middle to the end of July 2018 we headed to California. Our first stop as we left Texas was in Arizona at Saguaro National Park. We spent a few days in California. In California the kids took in some sights and we were tourist for a few days. As we ventured to Utah we visited Zion National Park and Arches National Park. In Colorado we spent our days at the 2018 Outdoor Retailer Convention. Next we traveled south to New Mexico. We spent the late afternoon and evening at White Sands National Monument. This was a wonderful journey. It was nice providing new experiences to the guys and introducing them to places they had never seen prior to our trip.
This will be a fun year
