Benefits of Field Trips
Field trips allow students to explore and engage in a setting different from their day to day schedules. Field trips at Jellystone Park™ Wichita Falls make learning more fun, engaging, and unique by giving learning a new perspective, increasing excitement, and creating the opportunity to build newfound interests.
1.) Physical Activity
Sitting for 8 hours straight in a classroom causes students to become uninterested in learning new content. By adding a field trip into the schedule, it gets people up and moving! By giving them a day of being outside, trying new things, and learning along the way, a field trip to the best family campground in Texas will not only get them physically active, but also motivated to go back to the classroom and apply what they learned on the field trip.
2.) Social and Emotional Development
Socializing with other students and peers on field trips strengthens social skills. Whether the students are learning to brainstorm new ideas, build teamwork, or effectively communicate with other, all of these skills will help navigate everyday life settings. Plus, respect for others will grow by encouraging one and other to step outside their comfort zone and try something new.
3.) Real world learning
A field trip to Jellystone Park™ Wichita Falls allows for learning beyond the classroom boundary. It provides a fresh perspective to learning that can’t be exposed any other way. A field trip outdoors shows people the practical application of what they learn in the classroom and how it is relevant in day-to-day life.
Learning beyond the walls of a classroom is so important for students and their development in life experiences. When you think back to your days in school, the times that made you who you are today most likely did not come from learning the quadratic equation or how to find the last angle of a triangle, but rather from the connections with others and shared experiences that you made with other students. These experiences are something that everyone needs in order to build life skills. Plus, it's easy to make unforgettable experiences while at Jellystone park™ Wichita Falls!
