FIELD trips
Cayton Field Trips
Turn your school day into a one-of-a-kind experience! At the Cayton Children’s Museum, we believe that learning should be an extraordinary adventure, where children connect with the arts, the world, and, most importantly, each other.
For Specific Program Options, please select the age group of students from the options below:
Our field trips, available for students from infancy through 3rd grade, extend classroom learning, equipping students with the foundational tools for success while aligning with California Common Core standards, Visual and Performance Art standards, and California Preschool Foundation standards.
Educators can tailor the experience to their classrooms, choosing from a wide range of engaging lessons that cater to the needs, interests, sizes, ages, and focus of their students.
All school groups require a ratio of 1 adult to 5 students (1:3 ratio for infant and toddler ages)
Supported by scientific research, our tailored programs provide the transformational and lifelong benefits of abundant, creative, and purposeful play specifically addressing children's cognitive, emotional, and social development.
