I have spent significant time researching and gathering information about grants that provide financing for various educational and culturally enriching activities such as field trips, class projects, and assemblies. If you want a copy of the list, email me, and I will send it to you.
They will try to make you pay for their travel insurance. It states refund of 75&37; plus insurance fee of $168. If they reschedule the trip over a year away and you cancel a $4000 trip without insurance at 140 days you pay $615 but with insurance (75&37; of $4000) you pay $1000.....think about that!!!!!! SCAM!!!!!
They lure teachers into the program by offering a free trip, and paying them money for registering students. But when it all falls apart your student and their families will be calling the principal, Better Business and just about everyone because they just got ripped off!!!!!!!
Below is what happened to me....and yes I am a teacher!
************************************* EXPLORICA CHANGED THE TRIP DATE TO MARCH 2016. I spoke and emailed your trip leader on Nov. 18, 2014 and he told me of Explorica's trip changes.
*****FIRST change: merged unknown groups (not enough participants). *****SECOND change: Non-peer stranger danger room sharing (critical legal concern for a minor child). *****THIRD change: UNREASONABLE TRIP DATE RESCHEDULE OF A YEAR AND A HALF AWAY.
My daughter is a senior at Lane Tech H.S. graduating and going to an out of state college, Explorica’s trip reschedule of over a year and a half away is unreasonable. She will not be in the same state, school or in contact with the trip leader by the rescheduled date.
The Explorica’s cancellation terms which were unsigned online by me in 2014, the improper "minor" room arrangements, and the unreasonable Explorica CUBA trip re-schedule to a year and a half later (March of 2016) is a consumer trap executed by Explorica.
DONT GET INVOLVED WITH EXPLORICA>>>>>>THINK OF THE UPSET AND LOSS YOUR STUDENTS AND FAMILIES WILL SUFFER>>>>>>>THINK OF THE DAMAGE TO YOUR TEACHING REPUTATION!!!!!!!

I teach in the DMV metropolitan area and I need help with finding trips for my high school students in my Spanish class to go to. I am looking for something engaging. It is rather difficult to get older kids excited about Spanish.

*zoo *local museum *library *restaurant (they usually give the kids a tour of the kitchen and then feed them an appetizer unless you purchase kids meals *park *fire station can come to you *grocery store *sporting event *another school (they have plays, games, etc...) Be creative and have fun :-)
does anyone have any ideas for in-school field trips? I have "admissions" money from my budget but my Head Start kids are not allowed on buses anymore.
In the past we have used Mother Goose and Nelson Gill (carribean pre-school musician)

How about an astronomy program with hands-on activities that fulfill many STEM requirements? Take a look at this web site: http://www.lookuptothestars.com/
