A DAY AT DETRANG FARM: WHAT DO ALASKIDS LEARN FROM THE EXPERIENCE?

Nature and experiential trips provide children with valuable learning opportunities without the need for explicit explanations. The journey to explore Detrang Farm with the Alaskids is one such adventure:

Preparing for the trip requires children to be responsible – waking up on time, packing their belongings, and being ready when the departure signal is given.

During the journey, children should remember to enjoy themselves moderately, laughing and playing without disturbing others.

The engaging activities at the farm require children to patiently wait in line, follow the rules, and focus on developing the necessary skills to participate successfully.

Visiting the animal farms, feeding the animals, and learning about their care and growth processes are valuable experiences that help children connect their prior book-based knowledge to real-world situations.

In the vast and unfamiliar space of Detrang Farm, children must remember to follow rules and maintain discipline to ensure their safety and that of others, while still fully experiencing the environment.

After days of focused learning, the teachers who care for the children daily are delighted to see them immerse themselves in nature, smiling brightly, shouting joyfully, and participating in the farm’s activities with enthusiasm.

Each experience helps children grow, and the knowledge and skills they gain from visits with teachers and friends in Alaska will empower them to integrate confidently, adapt readily, and take initiative in various life situations.
