The Daytrippers Children’s Foundation

We are fortunate to work with generous organizations and individuals who believe it is important to provide children with opportunities to learn and discover the world beyond the classroom. We recently discovered the Daytrippers Children’s Foundation, which helps schools across Canada make field trips possible by providing funding for transportation and other trip-related expenses.
Daytrippers reached out to us to help them raise awareness about the programs they offer to schools.
Please share this information with teachers and school administrators in your community. You may be helping make a meaningful learning experience possible for children who might otherwise miss out.
Folks helping folks help others!

A testimonial from the Corvette School:
Throughout the school year, virtual and in-person classes have participated in various virtual and face-to-face field trips. Some students went to Mono Mills, others to Forest Valley, while others were visited by authors such as Ruth Ohi. Others were given the opportunity to explore nearby Farlinger Park. 
All of these field trips would normally have cost/ student fees included with them. This year, we have been lucky to be recipients of funds to cover all of our field trip costs! We thank Daytrippers Children’s Charity for covering the costs of school buses, presenters and entrance fees, just to name a few etc. To date, Daytrippers have covered over $1,500 of trip costs!! Thank you, Daytrippers!

Daytrippers Children’s Charity was founded in 2000 on the belief that every child should have the opportunity to discover the world beyond their classroom. Co-founded by Michael Comisarow, the charity set out to address a barrier that keeps many children from taking part in school trips. While these experiences can spark curiosity, build confidence and bring classroom lessons to life, their cost can place them beyond the reach of schools and families.

By funding educational and cultural trips for children in lower-income and remote communities across Canada, Daytrippers helps make those opportunities possible. A visit to a museum, art gallery, or conservation area gives students a chance to explore new interests and experience what they have been learning firsthand. Making these experiences accessible remains at the heart of the charity’s work.
