On-Campus Field Trips

On-campus field trips will bring history to life as students roll up their sleeves and experience hands-on adventures.  These field trips, held at your location are designed to enhance the history standards curriculum for the 4th (Local History), 5th (US History), and 6th grade (World History). Pan for gold, make a rope, lasso a virtual calf, tie a few sailor knots, or experience elements of movie-making.  On-campus student experiences eliminate transportation costs, the risk of leaving campus, minimize planning, and reduce time away from learning.  The per-student price can also be less than many off-site field trip locations.  Programs can also help meet California History Standards.

“I’ve received so many comments from parents and kids who thought it was the best day ever.  It was a great combination of activities for both boys and girls and they learned a lot — line dancing, how to spin a rope, how to tool leather.  They were absolutely transfixed with panning for gold!  The photos turned out great and the costumes and back-drop you brought were perfect.  Thank you for creating such a fun and memorable day for our 5th graders.”                                                                Roosevelt Elementary, Santa Monica

“Lewis Events was key to the success of our annual Family Night event for two years running.  They did a fantastic job of coordinating many fun activities, including the very popular gold panning and other Western games.  Entertaining a crowd of 600 parents and children is not an easy task but they did a professional and spectacular job for our school!”          Huntington Seacliff Elementary School, Huntington Beach

California History School Tour Wraps Up Another Year

Lewis Events just wrapped up another successful school year (2023-24) of educational and entertaining school assemblies and on-campus field trips. Each season, we add more shows than the previous year as additional schools choose to bring the program to their students. This year because of the demand, we had multiple teams providing historical assemblies and hands-on activities to grades 3, 4, 5, and 6.

Each program corresponds to the California State History Standards. The third grade experiences State and US history. The fourth grade experiences the Gold Rush, the Old-West, and California history. The fifth grade experiences US History. The sixth grade experiences Ancient Civilizations. Some schools use the program as an introduction to the study section. Other schools choose to bring the program during the course-of-study.

On the day of the program, students first gather for the assembly where an entertaining and interactive presentation brings history to life on the stage.

Following the assembly students roll up their sleeves and participate in a variety of exciting activities that relate to their grade’s history curriculum. Small groups of students rotate among the activities until each group has been to all of the experiences. Gold panning, candle making, weaving, frontier field games, survival skills, along with a variety of many other choices.

Lewis Events is already receiving requests for the 2024-25 school year so be sure to book early.

Lewis Events provides educational programs throughout California. We also provide event design, theme parties, entertainment, and corporate events to clients throughout California, Utah, and beyond.
