eservesWhite Pine Programs offers field trip opportunities for schools and organizations that are looking for hands-on nature-based experiences. We offer flexibility for schools and organizations, either bringing the experience to their own location or taking them to beautiful outdoor spaces like York Land Trust Preserves and other partnering lands.
Field trips provide students the opportunity to spend time learning outdoors experiencing a totally different way of engaging with peers and teachers at school. We can customize programs to meet the curricular needs of the school or provide our favorite programming.
Some examples of custom field trips:
– Extend the ELA lessons around the book, Hatchett, with survival skills such as wild edibles, structure building and fire making.
– “Artist in Residence” program – a three session, 8 hour engagement for fourth graders that mixed on-site and off-site experiences.
See our School Curriculum & Professional Development page for some example lesson plans.
