Virtual Field Trips for Older Adults
Virtual field trips are your passport to a world of discovery!
Imagine exploring the world's wonders, rekindling memories, and discovering new places—all from the comfort of home.
With millions choosing to age in place, the need for enriching, stimulating activities has never been greater. Virtual field trips offer a way to engage the mind and spirit, providing both intellectual stimulation and emotional fulfillment.
More than simple entertaiment
Designed by an experienced educator, these virtual field trips go beyond simple entertainment. They are carefully crafted journeys filled with rich content, discussion prompts, and immersive visuals. They offer a unique way to engage the mind and spirit, providing intellectual stimulation, emotional fulfillment, and autonomy.
Virtual field trips offer a mentally stimulating activity that keeps the mind active, fosters social connections, and provides a sense of adventure—without leaving the safety of home or the care facility.
Rekindle Memories & Explore New Places
Strategic Educational Services understands the importance of versatility and differentiation. With a wide selection of virtual field trips around the world, each trip can be selected to meet individual interests—whether that’s rekindling memories of familiar places or exploring new destinations.
A bridge between generations
For families, virtual field trips are a bridge between generations, allowing grandchildren the opportunity to explore the world alongside their grandparents, creating memories that will last a lifetime.
What families are saying:
"My children loved this activity. They did it with their grandfather who was also impressed and said he learned many new things." Melissa P.
Easily add to a care plan
For those living with Dementia, feelings of boredom and social isolation can be common. That’s why care recommendations that include providing ongoing opportunities for meaningful engagement are more than just important; they’re essential.
Virtual field trips are the ready-to-go activity that you need.
What Professionals are Saying:
"I work in a chuch-owned senior care. Our residents love travel and were very impressed. I'd consider it a great success." Susan W.
Add to an activity schedule
Activity Directors and Professionals can also add virtual field trips to an activity schedule to build community and foster social engagement. And they’re ready-to-go to create an immersive travel experience that promotes intellectual wellness and autonomy.
Whether at home or in a care facility, Strategic Educational Services provides a passport to a world of discovery, helping patients engage in a meaningful and fulfilling way.
Create an immersive travel experience
Each trip includes printable materials to enhance and create a more immersive travel experience.
You will receive a printable passport and unique stamp for each trip, which is a great motor skills activity.

On-Demand Access vs. Live Guided Programming
On-Demand Access:
We offer a library of virtual field trips through our subscription plans. Each trip is self-paced and on-demand. This format works well for independent exploration and staff-led viewing. The virtual field trips can be displayed on a tablet or computer, or screen-mirrored to a television. Each trip includes audio narration, dyslexia friendly font, and built-in links for exploration on Google Earth.
Live Guided Virtual Tours:
In addition to on-demand virtual field trips, we offer live, guided virtual field trips designed specifically for senior living communities. These 60-minute Zoom sessions are facilitated in real time, with a dedicated guide leading residents through meaningful places, encouraging conversation, and adjusting pacing to the group’s needs. This format works beautifully for group viewing in an auditorium or common space and is ideal for building routine, connection, and shared experiences. Please schedule a demo to learn more about our enrichment programming.
