During the week, 826LA invites public school teachers to bring their students to our writing labs for a morning of creativity, collaboration, and writing. Our field trips—whether it's Storytelling & Bookmaking, Choose Your Own Adventure, Memoir, or Poetry Writing—are designed to support your curriculum while providing a unique space for students to unleash their imagination and strengthen their writing skills. In just a few hours, students brainstorm, write, edit, and leave with a tangible product, such as a bound book or a polished essay, along with newfound confidence in their storytelling abilities. For classrooms unable to visit our labs, we offer traveling field trips, bringing the 826LA experience directly to your school.
Sign Up for an 826LA Field Trip Today and Give Your Students a Creative, Hands-On Experience They'll Never Forget!
