Airbnb has recently introduced a new collection of Online Experiences – Field Trips, where parents can now send their kids on a virtual trip of discovery to help broaden their horizons by tapping into a network of experts based all over the world.
With concerns over social distancing growing even more important over the past few days, there’s no better time to check out this new collection so that kids can have fun exploring new activities while safely sheltering at home!
While physical learning is back in full swing for schools, extracurricular activities and field trips are still limited as social distancing measures remain in place.
According to a new study of parents, participation in extracurricular activities is down 30 percent for children that typically take part in at least one structured activity during an average week, and has dropped nearly 50 percent for kids that typically take part in multiple activities.
