What is an Experiential Field Trip?
A WILDE School Yukon EFT is designed to inspire students to become intrinsically motivated to learn in the great outdoors. Each field trip is facilitated by a trained outdoor educator and crafted to meet your curriculum goals and the needs of your learners.
Trips can be either 1⁄2 day or full-day experiences.
Who are these field trips for?
- These trips are for K-8 public school classes looking for a curriculum-linked field trip.
Where does the field trip take place?
- The WILDE School Yukon campus at 18 Metropolit Lane, Whitehorse, Yukon
- If this is a Canoe EFT, the trip will take place at Long Lake, Chadburn Lake, Schwatka Lake, Yukon River, or Jackson Lake.
When can I book a trip for my class?

Title 1 Experiential Field Trips
Absolutely. As the classroom teacher, you are responsible for ensuring your students are representing their school well and on their best behaviour. The WILDE School facilitator(s) will take care of the programming.
WILDE School Yukon staff are passionate about outdoor learning. They strive to see learners become inspired to learning more about the world around them. They are also certified teachers who have either been a classroom teacher for years or work part-time in a Yukon school.
Our staff have either taught extensively in Yukon Schools or currently work part-time in Yukon Schools. We understand how difficult it can be to organize, plan, pack, facilitate, drive and debrief outdoor excursions.
By signing up your class for an EFT, you are essentially partnering with a certified teacher and outdoor educator for the day or half-day.
The program will be led by WILDE School Yukon staff. You will actually have time for all of the other things, like student assessment and ensuring students meet behavioural expectations.
Perhaps you are new to experiential and outdoor field trips. This will be a great opportunity to watch someone who works in this field everyday facilitator your class. Watching someone else work with your class is also a form of PD.
It also gives you a unique perspective to observe your students without the burden of teaching in the spotlight.
"WILDE School blends academics with meaningful experiences. The outdoor science lessons are rigorous, and the instructors weave in teamwork, communication, and leadership skills naturally. Our daughter talks about what she learns with genuine enthusiasm, and we've seen her confidence and independence grow every week."
