One favorite was a "category" of outings, and there's, also, a stand-out trip.
-- When I was in elementary school, the San Francisco Ballet, Opera and Symphony gave a yearly performance for the school children, from all schools ... public and private. They did it on a rotating basis, so it was a ballet, one year, and an opera the next year, etc.. I always loved those. But, the 6th grade year was extra special. The SF Opera did a performance of "Carmen." Our teacher was a talented singer and opera "buff," who had performed with the Opera Chorus. He really prepared us, in terms of the story, the music and opera presentations, in general.
-- The stand-out trip, also occurred in the 6th grade. We studied legislative and executive government, on a level that we could grasp. Then we took a day-trip to Sacramento, where the State Senator, and Assemblyman from our District greeted us, took our questions and gave us a tour of "the floors." One of the houses wasn't in session that day (I can remember which one), but we went to the gallery of the other house to watch it "in action."
