What were some of the best field trips you attended while you were in school?

Mine was probably to Wash. DC, but in 2 weeks we're going to NYC, and we're allowed to walk around the city by ourselves.:) :hump:

When I was 12, our class were bussed into the countryside, where we had to walk with packs for 12 km, then abseil down a gorge, build a shelter big enough for three to sleep in using only a sheet of plastic and whatever else we could find, then get up the next morning, climb back out of the gorge, walk the 12km back to the bus.

they never told us why.

Last year, we went to a Chinese history museum. me and some friends sat down for the whole time and did nothing. We were asked to fill out a sheet about it, but we never did and nothing else ever came of it. :confused:

Last field trip we took was to Teeside University. God, that place stank!

Field Trips... Hahahaha... In Australia, we call them excursions :p

i actually had to write an essay about my field trips :confused:

I'll paste in some bits :|

(..)The condition of the bus—well, was doubtful, to say the least. It looked as if it was about to fall apart. The paint was scratched and faded. On top of that, the license plate number started with 13. The bus identification number had two 13’s in it as well. We weren’t superstitious so we didn’t care. We just wanted our little journey to begin.
(..)One of my friends nicknamed the bus driver Boris, as in Boris Yeltsin. We all agreed that he did indeed look like the former Russian president, referring to him as Boris throughout the trip. Only a few minutes out of town a truck heading the opposite direction careened into our lane and hit our bus. The accident wasn’t very serious, but the truck broke the side mirror, which caused the glass to shatter and injure Boris’s neck.
(..) A few hours later, the bus, once again, stopped. Apparently we had a flat tire. It also seemed that some part came off the other tire. I searched the horizon for tumbleweed because it felt like we were in the middle of an abandoned part of the earth. No houses, no cars passing, not even a single grazing cow, just acres of wheat and barley fields.
Boris told us he had an extra tire so we knew he would eventually fix it. Still, what about the missing part? We had to search for it in the fields.

5th grade trip to the mountains :|
