Meeting approximately every other week on Thursday mornings at 10:30 am in Camarillo.
Students need to be able to read somewhat fluently; capable 3rd graders through 6th grade(ish) recommended. We will work on scripts from the public domain as much as possible, focusing on character development, intonation, projection, general confidence, and stage presence. Will also play acting games to build confidence and improv skills. Ideally we will perform in the 2027 ACHEV Fine Arts Festival.

ACHEV activities, events, and field trips are for ACHEV students unless otherwise noted.
What:
Elementary PE Co-Op (@ ages 5-12):
We are gathering together to teach our children to work as a team, develop strength, perseverance, good sportsmanship and friendships through physical activity. We start with a warm up exercise routine that will help the children build strength and balance. It is really fun to see how much they improve over the school year. After the warm up, we do structured activities for about 45 minutes. Afterwards we have optional free play.
Some examples of things we have done in the past: Relay races, obstacle courses, “Toxic River”, “Barbarians”, “Steal the Bacon”, crab soccer, jump rope, and four-square. We have also spent time playing games and doing drills to work on specific skills such as improving reaction time, learning how to pass a volleyball, hand-eye coordination, etc.
This is not a drop off class. Parents take turns leading activities and help supervise and assist their children as needed.
Littles PE Co-Op (@ ages 2-5):
Nicole Reyes is leading this group. Age appropriate PE games for the little ones will be taking place at the same time as the Elementary PE Co-Op. This is not a drop off class. Parents will be supervising and assisting their children as needed. You are welcome to bring your infants with you.
Who: ACHEV members 2- 12 years. Infants are welcome to tag along. We have room for more families to join us in both groups, so please consider joining us.
This co-op aims to be a commitment for the school year as opposed to a “drop-in” program. If you’re curious, but would like to try it out first, please feel free to come for a couple sessions and see if it’s something you can commit to for the rest of the year. We also invite students to join the group at any time in the year.
The dates for the whole school year are printed below and all dates are also on the ACHEV calendar, all are on Friday mornings. We will meet at Pitts Ranch Park (Camarillo). Please email or text Bonnie Adair 805-504-6457 bonnieadair@verizon.net if you are interested in joining us. We need to know how many children will be present in order to help with activity planning. Feel free to reach out with any questions.

Sacred Harp Singing
2026-10-12 09:30 - 10:30, 2026-11-09 09:30 - 10:30, 2026-12-14 09:30 - 10:30, 2027-01-11 09:30 - 10:30 | Plumberg Home
LIMITED SPACE! If you are interested, please email Allyson at allysonplumberg@gmail.com

ACHEV Mom, Allyson Plumberg, is leading monthly Sacred Harp singings at her home in Camarillo. Sacred Harp is a form of a cappella worship music that uses “shape notes”, and has its roots in the early American church. The music has a distinctively raw style and sound. Check out this brief intro video to Sacred Harp music.
Generous donors from the Sacred Harp community gifted Allyson with 16 copies of the new 2025 Sacred Harp book for the purpose of growing Sacred Harp music within her homeschool community!
No previous music ability necessary! You are welcome to come try it out if you’re on the fence. Plan on committing to the group for the year if you want to participate beyond that.

What: About an hour of basic instruction reading shape notes and singing from the Sacred Harp. Allyson will help break down the parts as needed. We will review songs from previous months, learn a new song or two each session—and most importantly—enjoy worshiping together!
Optional: After singing, we can walk over to the Pleasant Valley Soccer Field park (2 min walk) and let the kids play for a bit afterwards. Looking at about 1.5 hrs total, including park time.
Who: ACHEV Members of all ages (moms and dads too)! We have toys for little ones who may not be ready to sing yet.
When: 2nd Monday of every month at 9:30 – 10:30 am. If you join us for the park afterwards, we will wrap that up around 11/11:15 am.
Where: Located near the Camarillo YMCA. Exact address will be provided upon RSVP to Allyson at allysonplumberg@gmail.com
