Field trips are an essential part of our experiential summer camp program. Play is the work of the children! It is the goal of the YWCA of WNY School House Commons Summer Camp Program to send all of our program participants on weekly field trips for the eight-week program duration.
Children Learn from their experiences. Many of YWCA of WNY's summer campers come from low-income families who may have limited exposure to culturally rich experiences. Field trips provide our campers with these opportunities. Field trips can connect curriculum with the world, making it tangible and memorable. A field trip stimulates questions and ideas, and also provides an experiential "text" for students to study and investigate.
