IT’S FIELD TRIP
Book an Experience at Canada's Home for Music!
National Music Centre’s school programs work towards the mission of amplifying the love, sharing, and understanding of music in Canada. Our hands-on programs are based on Alberta’s K-12 curriculum and programs of study. Featuring items from NMC’s rare and unique collection, programs are led by talented musician educators who will make the concepts come to life.
Teachers can select the visit that aligns perfectly with their in-classroom teaching — from science to math and everything in between!
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 handson, 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 with 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!”
NMC has a range of new programs and activities that make all sorts of curriculum connections. That means you can select the perfect visit that aligns with your in-classroom teaching for the ultimate field trip experience.

Alberta Theatre Projects Student Matinees
Give your students the life-changing, unforgettable experience of live theatre!
ATP is thrilled to offer Student Matinees and we strive to assist teachers in integrating the arts into their curriculum by providing quality, contemporary, relevant plays from our home on the Martha Cohen Theatre stage in downtown Calgary.
ATP Student Matinees provide:
• Performances exclusive to students and educators, with 11:30am start times
• Discounted tickets (only $21 per student ticket)
• An Educator Resource PDF booklet to help bring your students into the world of the play, featuring production details and discussion topics
• A post-show Q&A talkback with artists from the show, providing the opportunity for students to ask questions and feed their curiosity around the show and the art of live theatre
Charlotte’s Web: Generations have delighted in E.B. White’s classic tale of an unlikely friendship between a pig named Wilbur and a spider called Charlotte, and children will be wowed to see their favourite characters and moments brought to life onstage. This cherished story illustrates the enduring power of friendship, love, and community, and is the perfect way to introduce kids to the magic of live theatre. Grades 1-5 (ages 5+)
King James: “King” LeBron James’s reign in Cleveland brings promise, prosperity and renewal to a city in need of all three. It also brings together two unlikely friends in a bond forged by fandom. Told over twelve years (from LeBron’s rookie season to an NBA Championship), King James is a funny, fast-paced comedy that is remarkably moving, highlighting the profound connections that sports can cultivate. Grades 9-12 (ages 14+) *Features coarse language.
Liars at a Funeral: Grandma Mavis stages her own funeral in order to reunite her estranged family… just in time for an ice storm to trap them all in a funeral home. But, little does she know, she’s not the only family member bending the truth. Liars at a Funeral is an uproarious, laugh-out-loud romp through the absurdities of family dynamics and the lengths we go to for love and connection. Grades 9-12 (ages 14+) *Features mature content and discussions of sex
With some performances already sold out, now is the time to book your students in to experience the magic of live theatre! Check out albertatheatreprojects.com/studentmatinees for details and booking information. Questions? Please contact us at tickets@atplive.com or 403-2947402.
Student Matinees just not fitting the schedule? Tell your students about That $20 Ticket Thing, a special performance of every show when students can see the show for only $20!

Discover the cosmos with a trip to the Waterton Planetarium. This inflatable dome planetarium experience features enriching full -dome film programs that perfectly compliment Sky Science learning, while incorporating Indigenous Sky Lore of the First Nations. It is also possible for the dome to visit your school.
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).

Field Trips
Visit Medalta Potteries in the Historic Clay District for a 90-minute field trip to tour the museum and create a unique clay project. Specialized field trips are available to target specific learning objectives and are customized to the age/grade of the students.
Day Trips
Day trips allow for more in-depth exploration of the Clay District and connected learning opportunities. This full day experience can be customized for any age/grade or group. The day trip is often used to document information for extended learning in the classroom and always includes a clay project!
Community Classroom Program
• Innovative • Experiential • Cross-curricular
This cultural and educational immersion model moves student learning “beyond the classroom” into the Historic Clay District for several days, not hours! Our program engages students in inquiry-based learning and exploration through a host of creative, integrated activities that align with the Alberta Program of Studies. Students learn from a variety of experts and enrich this learning through many journaling and documentation techniques. And of course, every day includes a clay project!

Outdoor Education, Leadership, Teambuilding
Kuriakos Outdoor School provides exciting educational programming for all age groups. Throughout its 90 years, Kuriakos has valued belonging, growth, and togetherness; Outdoor School is a terrific opportunity for students to experience these values, in a setting that is different from their usual school routine. Students will be encouraged to learn and to challenge themselves, as they build new relationships and discover common experiences. You’ll be amazed at the difference an Outdoor School experience can make in your students!
We work closely with all our school groups to develop a program that suits each school’s needs. For Christian schools, many activities can also be facilitated to encourage growth in your students’ faith. Haven’t planned something like this before? We have! We are happy to assist with paperwork, parent communication, and other logistics.
Kuriakos is a camp and outdoor centre located at the north end of Sylvan Lake. Since 1930, Kuriakos has been a gathering place for communities from across the province, providing recreation and learning opportunities to hundreds of families.
We welcome you to our site, and invite you to become a part of our community.

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;

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.”
