Tell me and I forget. Show me and I remember. Let me do and I understand.

- Confucius, 450 BC

Of all the experiences to be had in school, none is looked forward to with more anticipation than a field trip. Field Tripping is an opportunity for actually experiencing the knowledge taught in schools and its application in the real world. Experiencing this knowledge teaches in a more penetrating and lasting way than studying in a book ever could.

The experience of Field Tripping translates into measurable results - students retain the lessons learned longer and recall them more easily, this translates immediately into higher test scores.
Also, many students who do poorly on tests know the material but they're intimidated by testing. Knowledge gained in the field is earned by way of discovery, this teaches students to be bold about their education.
How can a student be intimidated by a paper test when the knowledge was gained by staring into the mouth of a real-life lion?

And besides all that, Field Tripping is cool! Who doesn't love a Field Trip?

Field Tripping is not just a chance for education outside the classroom, Field Tripping is also a chance for adventure!
