Learning partners

A digital resource that provides educators access to thousands of high-quality field trips designed for elementary students that are easy to plan and offered at minimal cost to schools.

We provide public educators with access to thousands of creative, hands-on, high-quality programs and field trips that can easily be planned with little cost to the schools. These enrichment opportunities provide k-12 students with hands-on learning.

Expanding enrichment opportunities

Online resource portal

— Teacher in Fall 2019, Jimmie Tyler Brashear Elementary
