Free and Reduced Field Trip Opportunities

Title I Field Trip Information

Since 2018, the Friends of Washington Crossing Park (FWCP) has been proud to offer History for All, a program that provides free and reduced-cost educational opportunities. This initiative has helped thousands of students from Title I schools engage in history education in fun and meaningful ways—both inside and outside the classroom—through on-site visits, virtual lessons, and in-classroom experiences.

What is a Title I School?

Title I is a federal program designed to ensure that all students, regardless of economic background, have access to a high-quality education. Schools qualify for Title I funding if at least 40% of their students come from low-income households. This funding helps provide additional resources and learning experiences to support student success.

What is History for All?

Through History for All, FWCP partners with schools in Pennsylvania and New Jersey that receive Title I funding, making our educational resources more accessible to students. This begins with our free downloadable lesson plans, videos, and activities available on our website.

Title I schools can also receive free or discounted admission to our Colonial Days field trips, where students experience hands-on programming that brings the past to life. Depending on available funding and need, we may also be able to help offset transportation costs.

Beyond on-site experiences, teachers can bring history directly into their classrooms through our History Chests and virtual lessons. We also offer off-site, hands-on history programs led by historical interpreters for Title I schools based on funding availability.

The County of Bucks also offers limited transportation grants to help cover busing costs for public school students in grades 4-8.

How Can You Help?

Your support helps ensure that all students have the opportunity to experience history in an engaging and immersive way. A contribution of $275 can fund a field trip for 25 students, giving them an unforgettable educational experience. If you’d like to support this program, you can fill out our donation form here.

We are incredibly grateful to our individual donors, as well as our community partners, including the Church and Dwight Employee Giving Fund and several local chapters of the Sons of the American Revolution, for their generous support of this program.
