>> balohan: het gaat om een uitstap naar zee, in de bossen, naar een paardenhoeve voor verschillende dagen. Men blijft meerdere dagen ter plaatse en doet vooral activiteiten in verband met het thema (zee, bos, paard). <<
In that case I stick to my answer: (school) excursion, (school) trip. :)
dan zou ik excursion gebruiken.

Thanks. A "course" takes place in a classroom in my point of view, whilst a "trip" or "excursion" is in the field (hence, outside the classroom).

Perhaps "bosklas" is a Flemish expression rather than a Dutch one...

: I think you don't understand the original, Luuk. "Bosklassen" are not courses about woods and "zeeklassen" are not courses about the sea.

You are right! Perhaps something like "sea-related activity and education programme" would be better? It does not exactly sound pretty though...

'sea-related events', is this better?
