The new basic education curriculum increasingly focuses on diverse learning environments and working methods, as well as cooperation with actors outside the school. The task of the education provider is to prepare instructions and an operating model for their schools on implementing out-of-school education, and to familiarize staff with them.

This school trip and camp school guide provides teachers and/or guardians with information on the things that those planning a trip and camp school should take into account and how they should act. Time must be set aside for planning and preparing a school trip and camp school so that outside-of-school education is effective, rewarding and safe. The guide reviews issues related to planning, organizing and fundraising a school trip and camp school, as well as responsibilities and supervision issues.

Teaching outside of school is recorded in the school's annual plan. Individual lessons are not recorded in the annual plan, but it must indicate the possibility of holding individual lessons outside of school.

Students receive instruction, guidance, and the support they need in accordance with the curriculum, also in education organized outside of school.

School rules and punishments also apply during teaching outside of school. The place where teaching is organized must be safe.

The camp school instructions and policies will come into effect on August 1, 2024.
