FIELD TRIPS

Field Trips are an integral part of the Field School experience and part of its long-standing tradition. These trips occur throughout the year and can be community-wide or grade-level specific, depending on the experience. Each year includes a fall and spring community hike in one of our many state and national parks. Our overnight trip to Camp Albemarle has always been a great community-building experience for our students and faculty. Other recent trips include UVA’s Rotunda, Fralin Museum, Blackfriars Playhouse of Staunton, Richmond Holocaust Museum, Smithsonian Institute, National Air and Space Museum, Richmond Science Museum, the Museum of African American History, and many more.
