At the historic 1870’s Donaldson-Bannister Farm, classes rotate through the two-acre property while allowing students to step into the past. During the two-hour field trip, students will complete a historical hands-on, minds-on learning experience that reinforces and brings to life the concepts that they are taught in the classroom throughout the school year. The two-hour field trip includes four rotations led by our trained volunteers, many of whom are former educators. Training is done by our Education Consultant, Romilia Human, who is also our Camp Flashback Director and a first-grade public school teacher.
Our field trips are correlated to the Social Studies Georgia Standards of Excellence according to each elementary grade level. Our Education Consultant has planned an academically based curriculum for our DPT field trips using materials and lessons that will keep students focused and excited about social studies concepts.
