Integrating
a schools curriculum and world view with comprehensive travel
programs designed to enhance and apply the classroom learning experience.
We all know that learning is enhanced by adding as many senses as
possible to the learning experience. By seeing, touching, smelling,
hearing and tasting, learning can make a lasting impression. I remember
my high school senior class trip to Washington, D.C. I had read
and heard about Washington for years, but I EXPERIENCED Washington
on that senior trip! I could fully appreciate the Capitol Building
after standing in the Rotunda and sitting in the Supreme Court Chambers.
I could better understand the White House after walking its hallowed
halls and hearing Hail to the Chief.
I realized the gravity of our government after exploring the National
Archives, the U.S. Treasury, the Library of Congress and the museums
of the Smithsonian Institute. I certainly understood the sacrifice
of many for my freedom after seeing the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier
and the Vietnam and Marine Memorials. Personal experience can be
one of the strongest catalysts for learning.
TREK Travel Programs is designed to help schools provide an opportunity
for students to deepen their understanding of what is taught in
the classroom. This program will help students to realize that what
their teacher is doing in the classroom goes far beyond notes, quizzes
and tests.
Customized
trips (or, TREKs) can aid in extending the learning process and
promote appreciation for instructors as well as curriculum. By involving
all the senses, learning is enhanced. TREK Travel Programs can provide
a comprehensive plan of travel experiences that builds from elementary
through secondary education.
The
program can be customized to broaden any grade level activity to
maximize the learning experience. Our mission is to assist schools
in equipping our young people for reality.
Let us develop a TREK Travel Program for your students offering
hassle free, quality experiences that reflect the integrity and
commitment of your school.
