Our Vision
At Get Out and About Inc., we believe that learning extends far beyond the walls of a classroom. Our vision is to create unforgettable, hands-on educational experiences that foster curiosity, build resilience, and ignite a love for exploration in young minds. Through immersive field trips and outdoor adventures, we strive to make learning an engaging, inclusive, and transformative journey for every child. We are dedicated to breaking down financial and logistical barriers to ensure all students, regardless of background, can access the world as their classroom.
Why Field Trips Matter
Enhanced Academic Performance
Research shows that students who participate in field trips perform better academically. For example, students who attended educational field trips had a 12% increase in knowledge retention, vocabulary, and critical thinking skills compared to those who learned in a traditional classroom setting.
Improved
Social Skills
Field trips help children develop social skills like teamwork, empathy, and communication. In fact, 85% of teachers report that students display greater empathy and tolerance after engaging in out-of-classroom learning experiences.
Increased Engagement & Motivation
Field trips bring subjects to life, significantly boosting engagement. A study from the American Association of School Administrators found that 87% of students reported feeling more motivated to learn after participating in field trips.
Real-World
Learning
Field trips connect classroom theory with real-world experiences, making learning more relevant. Studies indicate that experiential learning enhances comprehension and application of knowledge by 30% compared to traditional methods.
Inspiration for Future Careers
Exposure to different environments and professions through field trips can spark career interests. Approximately 70% of students report feeling inspired to pursue careers related to subjects experienced during field trips, particularly in science, history, and environmental studies. 6. Mental Health and Well-being: Time spent outdoors has proven benefits for mental health. Children who engage in outdoor learning report a 25% reduction in stress and anxiety, as well as improved focus and emotional resilience.
