Family Explorers Weekend at Professor Valley Field Camp

Immerse yourself...

in the wildness and beauty that only a desert sojourn can offer. Come with us and experience wild nature through hiking, camping and river running.

Enjoy field studies, stories and unstructured exploration. Learn and share skills, delight in new views, savor silence, revel in good company, enjoy great meals, take solace by the river's flow or be soul-struck by the brilliant night sky.

CFI's educational tour and program locations: Arches and Canyonlands National Parks; Natural Bridges and Hovenweep National Monuments; Professor Valley and local wilderness study areas; on the Colorado, Green, San Juan and Dolores rivers; the Manti-La Sal and San Juan National Forests; Monument Valley, Navajo Mountain and Rainbow Bridge; Cedar Mesa and Escalante/Lake Powell.

Why CFI... On Natures Terms:

CFI offers an increasingly rare opportunity to experience nature directly and simply, to know deep silence and hone instincts. We operate "unplugged", relying on preparedness, backcountry skill and wise leadership.…

Why CFI... Commitment to Local Communities:

We work with family owned businesses and organizations based here in canyon country.

Why CFI... Moderate Pricing:

A sensible approach to lodging, delicious healthy meals and comfort without the pampering.

Why CFI... Emphasis on Experiential Learning:

Through exploratory hikes, discussions and involvement in camp chores, all participants contribute to the success of our programs.

Why CFI... Focus on Environmental & Cultural Education:

Passionate and knowledgeable instructor-guides facilitate active, fun, unique learning experiences.

We are awed

by this landscape in which we live; and feel privileged to share it with you.

Quote by Robin Wilson - CFI Co-Founder

"Let the land speak for itself and help people to understand its language"

Our trips and workshops

feature natural and cultural history, wildlands values and issues, writing and literature, teaching and guiding, safety and low-impact camping.
