Kids love school field trips. What student doesn’t appreciate a chance to get out of the familiar school building and head somewhere interesting, like the U.S. Naval Academy, Annapolis Maritime Museum and Park, or Banneker-Douglass Museum? Well-planned school field trips help students retain information thanks to the fresh locations, in-person experiences, and real-world demonstrations. Critical thinking skills improve, perspectives change, academics get a healthy boost, and complex concepts stick in their minds better. Teachers and faculty, on the other hand, find school field trips more stressful. There’s a ton of groundwork and logistics, from determining where the field trip will be to deciding how to get there — all while keeping the students safe. However, planning school field trips doesn’t have to make you tear your hair out! By following these tips, you can create a fun, compelling experience without the worry.
