    Community Involvement

Outside-classroom development for children is critical to fostering healthy, active lifestyles and developing a child’s sharing and communication traits.

Daytrippers believes that every student should have the opportunity to learn about the world outside the classroom. Daytrippers is a non-profit children's charity formed in Toronto that understands the value of the experiences children gain from class trips, and works to raise funds for trips to recognized educational and cultural institutions in lower-income areas.

Peggy Sheffield & Associates Inc. is proud to support Daytrippers in giving the gift of experience and adventure to schools and students across Canada. Daytrippers is a registered charitable organization: BN#88489 6929 RR0001.
