In elementary school, we would go on field trips to various locations.

In middle and high school, the entire school used to take group trips once every year.
ex> We had to evacuate the entire school.
ex> WE took a group trip and toured the entire island.

We typically spent two to three nights on those tips.

There were various group activities and a large camp fire at the end.

The bus rides to our destinations and back home were fun as well.

In college, we used to go on overnight trips called MTs.
