Past Alerces Field Trips
A field trip to the fire hall! A popular favourite for preschool and kindergarten children as they get to experience the thrill of climbing into the large truck, trying on protective gear, holding the water hose and letting their imaginations soar to exciting rescue missions where they are the hero that saves the day.
Listed below are many examples of field trips we have taken with the children during an academic year. Each year is unique, but some excursions we take every year.
