What is the English equivalent?
|
Dear colleagues,
I would like to ask you for help- especially the native speakers.
Namely, I need an English expression for the "classes" that don �t take place at school but out in nature or elsewhere. In Slovenia such activities take usually a week, students are taken to a place (town, village, somewhere in nature) and they stay in a hostel or some other accommodation together with some teachers and other educators. They have outdoor activities such as hiking, skiing, exploring nature, etc. We call such classes "School in Nature" and I found the expression Outdoor Education on the Internet. Do you think this is the right expression for what I have in mind?
I would be really grateful for any suggestions or ideas.
Thank you in advance.

In the USA we would call this a �field trip �. Though most often field trips are just a day trip. For an extended stay, one could possibly use �camp �. As in �English Camp � or �Science camp �.

Generally down under we would use the word �camp � for overnight stays and �school trip � for day excursions. |
