INSPIRING STUDENTS THROUGH THE SOUND OF MUSIC

Are you looking for an unforgettable field trip for your students? Well, Studio Bell, home of the National Music Centre (NMC), is just the place to strike a chord in young learners.

Led by talented musician educators, NMC’s hands-on, ears-on, minds-on programs are based on Alberta’s K-12 curriculum and programs of study. Students can explore the museum and encounter fascinating items from the National Music Centre collection, watch demonstrations to see instruments come to life, and engage in interactive activities that will activate their musical awareness.

“We get such incredible feedback from the schools that visit us,” said Paige Foley, NMC’s Programs Manager. “This is where kids come to be inspired. Students often leave surprised by all the ways that music relates to subjects like math and science. Making learning fun is our ultimate goal!”

Since opening in 2016, NMC has inspired nearly 70,000 students to learn through the lens of music, and realized its mission of amplifying the love, sharing, and understanding of music in Canada. NMC now has more experiences for teachers to choose from, including four different programs and add-ons for those planning the ultimate field trip experience.

Discover the cosmos with a trip to the Waterton Planetarium in Waterton Lakes National Park. This inflatable dome planetarium experience features enriching full -dome film programs that perfectly compliment Sky Science learning, as well as Indigenous Sky Lore of the First Nations.

http://watertonplanetarium.ca info@darkskyguides.ca

Waterton Lakes National Park (WLNP) is an amazing place for students of all ages to discover, explore, and reconnect with the natural environment. Recently named the world’s first transnational International Dark Sky Park by the International Dark Sky Association, WLNP is quickly becoming a recognized astrotourism destination that draws people to discover the night sky, thanks to efforts that have been made to minimize the area’s light pollution footprint at night. Aside from being an International Dark Sky Park, WLNP has also been declared a Natural World Heritage Site by UNESCO, a World Biosphere Reserve through the UNESCO MAB program, the world’s first International Peace Park, and Canada’s fourth National Park.

A visit to Waterton Lakes National Park can be an enriching experience at any time of the year. The tourism season runs from early May to early October, when full services are available. But considering the National Park is open year-round, there are plenty of opportunities to discover all that the area has to offer, even during the winter months. While some services are limited or unavailable during the winter, there are a number of businesses that cater to off-season travel to the National Park.

Dark Sky Guides (DSG) is a small family-owned business, operated by year-round residents of Waterton Lakes National Park. DSG historically offered guided interpretive nighttime tours and stargazing opportunities in WLNP, by providing tour participants with the chance to stargaze using quality telescopes, binoculars, and other stargazing equipment. The Dark Sky Guides are storytellers that deliver personable, memorable, interpretive tours that focus on showcasing the night sky, the moon and neighboring planets, deep sky objects like distant nebulae and star clusters, the Milky Way Galaxy, constellations, and even Aurora Borealis and nocturnal creatures. Ultimately, Dark Sky Guides encourage people, young and old, to foster their own personal connection with both the night sky and Waterton Lakes National Park. The company is committed to promoting WLNP as a noteworthy dark sky area, and to create awareness of the area’s official status as the World’s first transnational International Dark Sky Park.

Recently, DSG has expanded its operations to offer year-round experiences including wintertime snowshoe tours, as well as introducing the area’s only inflatable dome planetarium. As part of this shift to offering year-round experiences, DSG has recognized an opportunity to share the night sky with peoples of all ages. In particular, helping children and students to discover the night sky, and connect with the cosmos, has become a priority of DSG, considering the ever-increasing threat of artificial light at night, which is expanding around most urban municipalities.

The Waterton Planetarium features various full-dome film programs for viewers to discover the cosmos from the comfort of the inflatable dome planetarium, located in Waterton Lakes National Park’s old Falls Interpretive Theater, near Cameron Falls.

Dark Sky Guides President and Co-Founder, Keith Robinson, is a year-round resident of WLNP and has been a tour guide in the area for decades. He is available to help plan any visit to WLNP and can provide information about all services, amenities and experiences offered in the area, as well as offer additional contacts, to create the perfect itinerary (email: keith@darkskyguides.ca).

EXPERIENCE PARLIAMENTARY DEMOCRACY

Home to over 100 years of debate and decision-making, the Legislative Assembly of Alberta delivers engaging programs on democracy, governance, citizenship, parliamentary traditions and history and the roles of elected representatives.

Choose from a variety of programs during the 2023-2024 school year, including virtual and on-site options.

BOOK AN EDUCATION PROGRAM

Education programs are fun, engaging and free. Please visit www.assembly.ab.ca/visit/tours#school-tours for more information.

Most students would say that the best field trips are about having fun, while most teachers feel that fi eld trips should be about education.

So where is the happy medium?

Here at Ortona, we combine fun games, activities and gymnastics circuits to create a field trip that is not only engaging and exciting but also physically challenging and educational for every grade level.

We offer field trips year-round for all grades and for students of all abilities including special needs.

Promoting physical literacy is beneficial for improving academic performance, cognitive skills, mental health, psychological wellness, social skills, and healthy lifestyle habits.

Why choose gymnastics?

Gymnastics helps develop self-esteem, selfdiscipline, self-awareness, and utilizes physical literacy to form the healthy f oundation for an active lifestyle.

Gymnastics is one of the three foundation sports decreed by the International Olympic Committee; and is the ultimate human movement experience.

Ortona Gymnastics Club is a not-for- profit, independent sports organization that was formally incorporated in 1976

As one of the oldest gymnastics clubs in Edmonton with roots stretching back to 1972, Ortona has a long history of community involvement, athlet e development and child/youth sport activity and movement. Ortona is very proud of its legacy in the Edmonton community

We look forward to your participation in gymnastics at our club

You are never too young — or too old — to gain something positive from the sport of gymnastics at Ortona.

Book your field trip today.

Gymnastics for All!

Unique and Exciting!

What you need to provide:

• Schools and groups are responsible for the transportation of their students to and from our facility;

• Each participant’s guardian is required to provide a completed waiver;

Rabbit Hill Snow Resort has been introducing youth to the excitement of winter sports for over 65 years. It is one of the largest areas in Northern Alberta, located on the South West Side of Edmonton.

Introducing skiing and snowboarding creates a lifelong way for students to stay active during the winter season.

Our professionally trained Snow School instructors focus on skill development and improvement while promoting safety in an enjoyable atmosphere.

NEW! We are now booking school groups for our SUMMER TUBING experience. Slide down one of only two installations in Canada, it offers a unique and fun experience for ages four and up!

Rabbit Hill will work with you to tailor a flexible package that fits the needs of your group, large or small.

Explore dynamic interpretive programs for students in kindergarten to grade 9 and high school.

Sit back and let the 360-degree visuals of the Zeidler Dome Theatre transport you on a trip to the Milky Way Galaxy. Featured shows include Forward! To the Moon, Legends of the Northern Sky, and One Sky!

From the edge of your seat, travel to untouched terrains, including diving into the deepest oceans and even soaring above the highest mountain peaks. With high-quality visuals, storylines, and immersive sound, a film in IMAX® is an experience your students won’t soon forget.

Take an expedition of discovery through five permanent themed galleries! Tinker and test gadgets and gizmos in The Science Garage - a budding place for imagination and creativity. Launch a marble down a custom-made track before tackling the rotating rock-climbing wall. Be part of an optical illusion in the Ames Room where objects may appear larger than they actually are.

Blast off in the S.P.A.C.E. Gallery! Marvel at the Aurora Borealis before launching rockets and commanding a lunar lander. Even see a real Moon rock! Next, step into the shoes of a naturalist in The Nature Exchange. Here students examine fossils, seashells, insects, and preserved plants at the microscopic level.

In the Health Zone your students will see their heart beat, extract DNA from a strawberry and other handson programs.

Don’t miss the Arctic Journey, where students can ride a dogsled and learn all about what life is like in the Arctic.

Students 6-years-old and younger will splash, crawl, and play while learning about water systems, aviation, nature, and building fundamentals as they explore a mini-Edmonton in CuriousCITY!

Field trips align with the Alberta Education Curriculum and the Science Centre provides a dynamic and interactive environment to engage and ignite curiosity! To plan your field trip visit www.twose.ca/educators or phone 780-451-3344.

Embark on an unforgettable field trip packed with collaborative, engaging, and hands-on learning!

RIDE WITH SOUTHLAND

FIELD TRIPS, CAMPS, DAY PROGRAMS & MORE BOOK

TODAY

southland.ca/charters

SOUTHLAND Transportation started in Calgary in 1971 with a single van. Since then, we have expanded our diverse fleet to over 2,200 vehicles, with operations in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ontario, and Nova Scotia. We take great pride in serving communities across Canada.

Every day, we travel over 150,000 kms and safely transport over 100,000 people to their destinations and then safely home. Yes, a lot of those passengers are indeed schoolchildren, however we want to remind everyone that SOUTHLAND Transportation also offers an excellent charter service that can accommodate any size of group.

Our highway motorcoaches have 56-passenger capacities, while our 72-passenger school bus rental is a great alternative for local day trips.

ALBERTA’S SAFEST TRAMPOLINE PARK

When two-time trampoline gold medal winner Rosie MacLennan was a child, her grandmother had an activity chart at the family cottage and insisted just like at a summer camp that they try a new skill every day. MacLennan and her older brothers Matt and Michael, and older sister Kate, had to prove they could do an activity three times before getting to colour off a square on the chart. Today encouraging young people to be active and try new things can be hard when they are staring down at a screen. It can be even more difficult when the safety of the new activity is questioned.

Trampolines were originally designed in the 1930 as training devices for gymnasts. The uses quickly adapted into several different uses but soon evolved into consumer products as they became more affordable and the backyard trampoline was born.

Trampolines are a great source of aerobic exercise and help develop balance and coordination if used properly, said Dr. Gary Smith, president of the Child Injury Prevention Alliance and spokesman for the American Academy of Pediatrics.

“We really want to encourage people of all ages to be physically active. We just want them to do it in a smart way so they don’t end up decreasing physical activity due to injuries,” said Smith. It wasn’t until 2002 that the idea allowing kids to jump in a controlled trampoline environment where safety is the focus.

Darren Balderson, the owner operator of Alberta’s first Trampoline Park, LaunchPad Trampoline Park, says the trampolines in his park are specially manufactured for extra stability and endurance. Much greater stability than a typical backyard trampoline. The frames are solid 4 ¾-inch wall steel tubing covered by two inches of high-density foam padding to create give and reduce impact. Backyard trampolines come in a variety of strengths depending on how much the customer is willing to pay. Balderson goes on to say, “Often the padding has worn off these backyard trampolines after a year or two and you’ll have kids jumping 10 feet in the air

with metal framing and springs exposed. Balderson continues, “I can most likely tell you that these backyard trampolines are not getting regularly inspected.”

Trampoline Parks offer the best and safest way for kids to enjoy the feeling of flying in a controlled environment. Since opening in 2013, Launchpad Trampoline Park is proud to have had over 500,000 happy jumpers enjoy the unique feeling of jumping from one trampoline to another to another. Launchpad upholds the safest possible environment and uses the best practices including regular inspections and maintenance of equipment by well trained staff. LaunchPad has dedicated safety coaches to enforce rules and teach proper jumping techniques to kids. There is always a first aid certified staff member to help with any issues. A safety video is provided to inform customer who are new to jumping of the safest ways to navigate the park. Launchpad has the largest foam pit in Canada with foam six feet deep and a bottom layer of high-density foam. It would be impossible for somebody to touch or even find the ground in Launchpad’s massive foam pit.

The safety focus continues as Launchpad has designed their trampolines adjacent to the foam pit with waterfall technology. This technology removes the steel frame of the trampoline on the one side where people jump into the foam pit. There is no metal framing between the trampoline and foam. Not only are all the trampolines in the park double reinforced there is over 15,000 square feet of safety netting under the trampolines. Below each trampoline Installed is a dual layer RocBloc netting that provides secondary fall protection in the event a trampoline mat should fail.

Trampoline parks allow kids to move in a way they have never felt. It expands their mind. Encourages creativity and helps them understand themselves. Rosie MacLennan has said, “The trampoline gym helped me develop confidence. It helped me learn the value of struggle and the opportunities you can have when you face a challenge. It helped give me a positive perspective.”
