Social:School camp

From HandWiki
Short description: Form of field trip

School camp is a form of education (typically implemented within primary schools) involving a field trip with a class' teachers to a place of natural or touristic significance. They carry some names, such as rinkangakkou (林間学校, forest school) in Japan ,[1] Schullandheim (school hostel, school camp) in Germany ,[2] zielona szkoła (green school) in Poland ,[3] and schoolkamp (school camp) in the Netherlands.[4]

History

During the 19th century, taking schoolchildren on outside trips was widely practiced, supposedly improving their health.[5] In Japan, rinkangakkou was developed during the Showa period, influenced by the German Ferienkolonie.[6] In most of Europe and Japan, the tradition is still upheld by many schools.[7]
