The Peabody Museum of Natural History at Yale is a wealth of geological information. It has recently opened a newly renovated Hall of Minerals designed in collaboration with Jay Ague – Director of the Yale School of Geology and Geophysics.

As well as in Museum programs campers went of field trips, which include:

Stony Creek Quarry, granite supplied for the base of the Statue of Liberty and other major project. Darrell Petite – world renowned sculpture uses the quarry as his studio and was guide for the children's visit.

Brown Stone Quarry - supplier of materials for all New York City "brownstones".

Tilcon Trap Rock Quarry - fully functioning quarry supplying trap rock for infrastructure projects around the world.

Pegmatite Quarry - a treasure chest of conglomerate rocks once used in a variety of 20th century Connecticut industries.

Outer Island - one of many rock islands known as The Thimbles and now a national reserve.

The weed culminates in a "Rock Festival" with displays of rock collections Inukshok and caryn sculptures, a theatrical backdrop of rock formations and an interpretive dance performance narrated by a student. Parents look forward to this event and enjoy foods created after the rock formations; sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic.
