About FieldTrip250

FieldTrip250 is a national initiative powered by Orange Sky Travel to help 25,000 students stand where American history was made. From the monuments of Washington, D.C. to the historic battery of Charleston, SC, we are rallying educators to take learning beyond the classroom during the U.S. Semiquincentennial.

  • The Mission: Empowering educators to lead unforgettable overnight field trips from July 4, 2026, to July 4, 2027.

  • The Contest: We’re giving away a $25,000 Grand Prize and 25 Travel Scholarships to make these historic journeys a reality ($50,000 total).

  • The Legacy: Providing the travel planning and logistics so students can connect with our nation’s heritage in person.

Who’s Behind FieldTrip250

While FieldTrip250 is an initiative all its own, the engine behind it is Orange Sky Travel. With over 700 five-star reviews and a decade of experience, Orange Sky Travel is the exclusive travel provider for all FieldTrip250 experiences.

Why Orange Sky Travel is different:

  • Excellent Communication: Our great team works hard to keep your great team (administration, chaperones, and parents) in sync from the first deposit to the final drop-off. Excellent communication is our #1 core value because it’s the critical difference that makes us the trusted travel partner for your group.

  • All-In Logistics: We handle the transportation, hotels, meals, activities, and online payments so you can enjoy the trip with your students.

  • Independent Integrity: To ensure fairness, the FieldTrip250 contest is judged by an independent panel of educational professionals—not staff of Orange Sky Travel.
