Classroom learning
comes alive at Sinkland Farms!
Memorable experiences make for
Sinkland Farms School
Field Trip Days
At Sinkland Farms,
we’re dedicated to providing an
experiential learning environment
unlike any other.
-
Let your young learners dive into an unforgettable educational experience, where pumpkins, farm fields, hayrides, and farm animals are their classroom. At our farm, children learn by doing—engaging in hands-on activities that bring the day-to-day wonders of a working farm to life.
Here, students gain practical knowledge and develop skills that go beyond the traditional classroom setting, fostering a deeper connection to the natural world. We proudly incorporate Virginia Standards of Learning into all of our field trips, ensuring that while students are having fun, they’re also meeting important educational goals.
Whether you’re a teacher looking to enrich your curriculum, a club leader seeking an adventurous outing, or a troop leader planning an engaging field trip, our farm offers an experience that will leave lasting memories. So, bring your class, club, troop, or group of friends—learning has never been this much fun!
