Editing Field trip (section)

== Site school ==
A variation on the field trip is the "site-based program" or "site-school" model, where a class temporarily relocates to a non-school location for an entire week to take advantage of the resources on the site.  As with a multi-day field trip, appropriate overnight camping or lodging arrangements are often made to accommodate the experience.  The approach was first developed at the [[Calgary Zoo]] in Alberta, Canada in 1993, and "Zoo School" was inaugurated in 1994.  The [[Calgary Board of Education]] then approached the [[Glenbow Museum and Archives]] to create a "Museum School" in 1995 followed by the [[Calgary Science Centre]] (1996), the [[University of Calgary]] (1996), [[Canada Olympic Park]] (1997), the [[Inglewood Bird Sanctuary]] (1998), [[Calgary City Hall]] (2000), [[Cross Conservation Area]] (2000), the [[Calgary Stampede]] (2002), the [[Calgary Aero-Space Museum]] (2005), and the [[Fire Training Academy]] (2008). One of the newer schools in Calgary is [[Tinker School]] and [[Social Enterprise School]] as STEM Learning Lab (2018)  The model spread across Alberta (with 15 sites in Edmonton alone), throughout Canada and in the United States.  Global coordination of the model is through the "Beyond the Classroom Network".
