SUMMARY:Aquarium of the Pacific Field Trip #2
DESCRIPTION:What: We have a fun opportunity to visit the Long Beach Aquarium of the Pacific on Wednesday April 16 at 10am.  This is a field trip you don’t want to miss! Our visit will be self-guided and you can stay as long as you’d like until they close at 6pm. If you haven’t been\,  you need to go!  Your older children will love it too.  ACHEV Grads are welcome. There is much to explore\, you can be occupied for hours.  Here is just some of what they have: \n\nThe Shark Lagoon features several species and sizes of sharks\, some of which you can touch … and some you can’t! This expansive outdoor exhibit is home to large sharks and rays\, shark touch pools.\nThe Tropical Reef Habitat\, which can be viewed from three locations in the gallery\, is the Aquarium’s largest exhibit. Holding 350\,000 gallons of water\, this exhibit features over a thousand colorful fish and beautiful coral\, including sea turtles\, zebra sharks and porcupine puffers.\nThe Southern California Gallery will feature over ten exhibits and more than three dozen species. Highlighted animals will include the California two-spot octopus\, leopard and horn sharks\, California scorpionfish\, a moray eel\, California spiny lobsters\, Catalina goby\, and California’s state marine fish—the Garibaldi. Visitors will be able to get up close to these animals as they explore a variety of new exhibits.\nSea Otter Habitat. Peer underwater and discover the busy world of sea otters as they swim and interact amongst kelp and fish.\n\nLunch: I have reserved a space for us to have our lunch at 12:15.  Bring your lunches in with you and there will be a place to store them until our lunch break.  The storage space is not refrigerated\, so bring insulated bags\, or something that does not need refrigeration.  I think it will be really nice to explore for a while and then all meet back up for lunch. \nWho: ACHEV Members\, all ages\, ACHEV Grads \nWhen: Wednesday April 16th\, our walk in time is 10am.  I you all to meet out front by 9:45.  We have to collect money from everyone and pay in one lump sum.  Bring cash. \nCost: $9 per person ages 3+ including adults.  We need a minimum of 10 students/participants and will be permitted 1 free adult chaperone per every 10 students. The cost of admission for all students\, siblings 3 and over\, and adults is $9.00. This is an incredible price as the admission tickets are usually $29.95 for kids 3-11\, and $44.95 for everyone 12+.  Parking Fees: The most convenient parking is within the Aquarium Parking Structure\, located on the waterside of Shoreline Drive between Chestnut Place and Aquarium Way. The parking fee is $8.00 for the day with Aquarium validation\, so don’t forget to bring your parking ticket in to get validated. \nSign Up: Please sign up HERE by Wednesday March 12th\, but sooner will help tremendously if you are able.  I need to make sure we have enough people for the field so that I don’t get stuck with a bill.  Conversely\, if we have a lot more people wanting to join than the 30 I reserved spaces for\, I need to know that much sooner rather than later or they may not have extra space.  If I have lots of advance notice\, the probability of being able to reserve additional space is much better. \nAdditional Info/Resources for our field trip to check out ahead of time \n

If you are in a more urban area\, investigate the relationship between the city ecosystem and the kinds of animals that have adapted to live close by with us (see this link for more information). Use this resource from Wonder of Science as a graphic organizer to support this field trip.\n\nPost-Visit Survey: \n\nLet us know how we did! Complete this survey\n\nIf you have any other pre field trip inquiries\, questions\, or concerns\, contact Callista.Turner@parks.ca.gov .

SUMMARY:Seal Watch Field Trip
DESCRIPTION:What: Docent-led visit to the Carpinteria Seal Sanctuary  https://carpinteriasealwatch.org/ .  At this time\, the seals should be pupping. \nWhere: Meet in the parking lot off of Bailard Ave.   And then we will walk together to the bluff where we will meet the volunteer docent and view the seals. \nWhen: Meet in Parking Lot at 12:40\, we are scheduled to meet the docent on the bluff at 1 PM.  Arrive earlier if you want to use a restroom (or maybe eat a picnic lunch) before we start.  There is a restroom at the neighboring park/softball fields. \nCost: Free \nWho: ACHEV members all ages \nSign Up Here.  Max 25 people\nOptional After the Field Trip: Please join us for playing around on the beach right next to the seal watch area.  There will be a negative tide at 1:52 pm so it will be a perfect time to explore tidepools! \nSpecial Notes: \nWe ask that you talk with the kids before arriving so that they  understand when viewing wildlife in their natural setting\, it’s important to be calm and use calm voices.  It can be pretty exciting for them.  The volunteers will help with giving them a friendly\, gentle reminder\, if needed.   Also\, we are up on a high bluff\, so we ask for parents to really watch the kids \nDogs are not permitted\, they scare the seals. \nBring an easy lunch or snack that won’t be too burdensome to carry in a backpack.  Or you might want to arrive  early and eat lunch near the parking lot or at the park  when you arrive – this is probably what we will do.  Let me know if you want to meet up with us for a picnic lunch around 12. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Field Trip: Aquarium of the Pacific
DESCRIPTION:What: We have a fun opportunity to visit the Long Beach Aquarium of the Pacific on Thursday January 30th at 11am.  This is a field trip you don’t want to miss! Our visit will be self-guided and you can stay as long as you’d like until they close at 6pm. If you haven’t been\,  you need to go!  Your older children will love it too.  ACHEV Grads are welcome. There is much to explore\, you can be occupied for hours.  Here is just some of what they have: \n\nThe Shark Lagoon features several species and sizes of sharks\, some of which you can touch … and some you can’t! This expansive outdoor exhibit is home to large sharks and rays\, shark touch pools.\nThe Tropical Reef Habitat\, which can be viewed from three locations in the gallery\, is the Aquarium’s largest exhibit. Holding 350\,000 gallons of water\, this exhibit features over a thousand colorful fish and beautiful coral\, including sea turtles\, zebra sharks and porcupine puffers.\nThe Southern California Gallery will feature over ten exhibits and more than three dozen species. Highlighted animals will include the California two-spot octopus\, leopard and horn sharks\, California scorpionfish\, a moray eel\, California spiny lobsters\, Catalina goby\, and California’s state marine fish—the Garibaldi. Visitors will be able to get up close to these animals as they explore a variety of new exhibits.\nSea Otter Habitat. Peer underwater and discover the busy world of sea otters as they swim and interact amongst kelp and fish.\n\nLunch: I have reserved a space for us to have our lunch at 12:45.  Bring your lunches in with you and there will be a place to store them until our lunch break.  The storage space is not refrigerated\, so bring insulated bags\, or something that does not need refrigeration.  I think it will be really nice to explore for a while and then all meet back up for lunch. \nWho: ACHEV Members\, all ages\, Grads \nWhen: Thursday January 30th\, our walk in time is 11am.  I want all of you to meet me out front by 10:45.  I have to collect money from everyone and pay in one lump sum.  I will take a personal Zelle payment if you prefer that to cash or forget cash.  Contact me for those details. \nCost: $9 per person ages 3+ including adults.  We need a minimum of 10 students/participants and will be permitted 1 free adult chaperone per every 10 students. The cost of admission for all students\, siblings 3 and over\, and adults is $9.00. This is an incredible price as the admission tickets are usually $29.95 for kids 3-11\, and $44.95 for everyone 12+.  Parking Fees: The most convenient parking is within the Aquarium Parking Structure\, located on the waterside of Shoreline Drive between Chestnut Place and Aquarium Way. The parking fee is $8.00 for the day with Aquarium validation\, so don’t forget to bring your parking ticket in to get validated. \nSign Up: Please sign up HERE by Thursday December 19th\, but sooner will help tremendously if you are able.  I need to make sure we have enough people for the field so that I don’t get stuck with a bill.  Conversely\, if we have a lot more people wanting to join than the 30 I reserved spaces for\, I need to know that much sooner rather than later or they may not have extra space.  If I have lots of advance notice\, the probability of being able to reserve additional space is much better. \nAdditional Info/Resources for our field trip to check out ahead of time \n

SUMMARY:Oxnard Police Department Tour
DESCRIPTION:    \nWhat: Come visit the Oxnard Police Department.  We will get a tour of the station\, dispatch and booking\, a police car\, and see their new drone unit.  We will also get to visit the building on Sturgis Rd. where the SWAT team trains and keeps all their equipment. \nCost: Free \nWho: ACHEV Members all ages and their parents.  Space is limited\, so please only one parent per family. \nNotes: We may be divided into two groups.  I will let you know when we get close to the field trip date.  We will be visiting two separate facilities.  When we finish at one\, we will drive about 10 minutes to the other.  This gives us the opportunity to see all the neat stuff the SWAT team does as well as seeing the station\, the jail\, etc.  I will give more details to all participants before the trip. \nWe haven’t done a police station tour since 2018\, and we have never gotten to see the Sturgis facility before.  We’ll also get to see some of their special equipment (robot\, Bearcat)\, and new stuff\, so we are excited for this opportunity. \n*If you have a baby\, it would be best to use a carrier for this field trip – it will be hard to maneuver a stroller around – there are tight spaces and stairs and it is a very old building. \nSign up Here by Sunday December 8th

SUMMARY:JPL Pasadena Field Trip - NASA Jet Propulsion Lab
DESCRIPTION:JPL Field Trip – NASA Jet Propulsion Lab in Pasadena\n\nWhat: Guided tour of Jet Propulsion Laboratory\, website: http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/\n\n\n\n“The Jet Propulsion Laboratory is a unique national research facility that carries out robotic space and Earth science missions. JPL helped open the Space Age by developing America’s first Earth-orbiting science satellite\, creating the first successful interplanetary spacecraft\, and sending robotic missions to study all the planets in the solar system as well as asteroids\, comets and Earth’s moon. In addition to its missions\, JPL developed and manages NASA’s Deep Space Network\, a worldwide system of antennas that communicates with interplanetary spacecraft.” \n“All tours commonly include a multimedia presentation on JPL entitled “Journey to the Planets and Beyond\,” which provides an overview of the Laboratory’s activities and accomplishments. Guests may also visit the von Karman Visitor Center\, the Space Flight Operations Facility\, and the Spacecraft Assembly Facility.” \nSign up deadline: Thursday November 7\, 2024 \nTime: Please arrive at  9:10 AM to check in and use restrooms. We will enter promptly at 9:30 PM. Tour will end by 12:00 PM.  Keep in mind\, the drive is far and you never know what traffic will do\, so give yourself extra time and bring your breakfast\, and maybe some books with you in the car. \nWho: Grades 3-12 & parent chaperones.  Younger siblings NOT Permitted\, no babies.  I was only able to get an exception for 2 second graders to come along.  My son is one of them: that means we will be allowed only one more second grader if there is one that can handle the field trip as described without becoming impatient or disruptive.  Please read the details below\, and do not bring any children regardless of age that will likely have difficulties with the field trip.  If there is a need for an accommodation for disability\, please contact me so that I can communicate with JPL about accommodations. \nI was only able to get a reservation for 30 people.  Sign up on the waitlist if it is full in case someone cancels before Nov 7\, or in case I get real lucky and can somehow add more people.  These field trips are super high in demand and getting a reservation is really hard! \nPlease consider these things when deciding if this is a good field trip for you:  \n1) The subject matter may be boring to younger children if they do not have an interest in the topic.  Your children need to be able to sit/stand still and be quiet for extended periods. \n2) The tour will last 2 to 2.5 hours \n3) If anyone needs to use the restroom during the tour\, the whole tour must stop and wait. \n4) We cannot go anywhere in the facility unaccompanied by the tour guide\, so if a child becomes disruptive\, you will not be able to remove them or stay behind. \n5) There is considerable walking\, standing\, and stair climbing in this tour. \n6) Everybody in attendance MUST be on the roster \n7) The video that they show contains evolutionary ideas presented as facts; things such as\, “we all came from stardust”.  This is something you might want to talk about ahead of time. \n8) There is nowhere on site where we will be allowed to eat lunch or purchase food.  Pack a lunch and leave it in your car\, or plan to buy food after the trip somewhere along the road. \n9) You know your child best and if this tour will be something they will enjoy.  We have done this field trip several times in past years and if your children are too young\, or not mature enough yet\, you will probably get a chance to do this in the future. \nCost: FREE \nLocation: 4800 Oak Grove Drive\, Pasadena\, CA 91109\, Directions: http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/about_JPL/maps.php \nStreet address for use in online map searches:\n4800 Oak Grove Drive\nLa Cañada Flintridge\, CA 91011 \nContact Person: bonnieadair@verizon.net\, 805-504-6457 \n**Important Notes**: You must commit to this event.

SUMMARY:Poverty Encounter Field Trip
DESCRIPTION:What: Come join us for an amazing experience at The Poverty Encounter! Poverty Encounter is an interactive exhibit that takes you into four immersive environments in the developing world. Each environment highlights the story of a real child living in these circumstances. Onsite tours include a service activity\, allowing you to respond biblically by providing both help and hope to those in need. (Feel free to explore their website! https://childrenshungerfund.org/…/poverty-encounter-about/ \n“An immersive\, interactive experience\, Poverty Encounter provides a unique understanding of the impact of living in poverty\, and opportunities to make a difference.” \n\nEncountering Poverty\n\n\n\n\nby Lynn Phillips\, Poverty Encounter at Children’s Hunger Fund \nHave you ever heard your children say\, “I’m starving\,” “there’s nothing to eat\,” or “I don’t like this meal!”? Do you wish your children had a greater appreciation for what they have? As a homeschool mother of four\, it pained me to hear my boys’ lack of gratitude for all the Lord had given them. One of the reasons we homeschooled was to teach our kids about who God is and that they can play a part in His plans. My husband and I wondered how we could open our children’s eyes to the abundance they had before them. \nRead the rest of this article at http://www.homeschool411.com/family/encountering-poverty/ \n\nWhere: 13931 Balboa Blvd | Sylmar\, CA 91342 \n\nWhen: Friday\, June 14th\, 2024 at 10:00 am:  Please arrive 20 minutes before your reservation time and check in at the Poverty Encounter entrance of the building.  Each tour is 90 minutes with a 30-minute service activity during which guests will be able to pack food for families in need.  There is a considerable amount of walking and standing throughout the experience so please dress comfortably. \nCost: $5 per person ages 6 and up.  This is a special price to celebrate 5 years of Poverty Encounter =)    5 and under\, free.  Paid in advance.  Sales for this event will close two weeks before the event.  This is what they ask so that they can work out scheduling in preparation for our event.   They have created a special link just for our group\, to purchase tickets online. \nDEADLINE: 5/31/24!\nPlease see attached spreadsheet and link.\nFollow the link to sign up for tickets and also sign up on the spreadsheet.\nYou will need to either print out a sheet and fill it out before you come\, or you can fill one out at the center.

SUMMARY:Great Pacific Pumpkin Patch Field Trip
DESCRIPTION:Oh\, fall.  So many of us look forward to this season\, and pumpkins and all things pumpkin-spiced is one of the reasons why.   Join us for one of my favorite field trips of the year.  We are going to the McGrath Brothers Great Pacific Pumpkin Patch.  It has been a while since our group has visited this pumpkin patch.  It is in Ventura on Olivas Park Drive\, it is not the one in Camarillo. \nWe will receive an educational pumpkin/squash talk\, a hay ride on their beautiful property while we learn a bit of the history of their farm\, a visit with the animals (including ducks and pigs) and then everyone can pick out their own pumpkins.  Children will get to pick out one small sugar pumpkin to take home (included in $7 field trip fee). \nCost: $7 per child ages 6 and up.  $1 for every adult and kids under 6 (including babies).  Children under 6 that do not pay $7\, do not get a sugar pumpkin included\, but you can choose and pay for as many additional pumpkins and squash as you like.  Bring cash with you for the field trip fees. I will collect from everyone as you arrive and make one lump payment for our group before the field trip starts.  They take credit cards at the farm stand if you want to purchase additional pumpkins from them. \nTime: Our tour starts at 10:00.  Please arrive at 9:45 so that I can collect cash from everyone and make payment before the tour starts.  The tour will last about 45-60 minutes\, but plan to spend a little extra time afterwards to look at their wonderful selection of pumpkins and squash that are great for eating\, decorating and carving. \nSign Up Here\nAdditional Info: \n\nThey have a wide and wonderful selection of pumpkins\, squash\, gourds\, and colorful corn available for purchase.   We have been to a lot of pumpkin patches\, and this is my favorite to purchase from.  They should have a bunch of dried out gourds to choose from and they make a really fun art project for Halloween or Thanksgiving.\nThey are dog friendly as long as your dog stays on a leash and you clean up after it.\nBring your whole family and your camera!  They have a lot of good photo ops here =)\nWear good shoes.  There is a lot of dirt and some uneven ground.  Potentially mud depending on weather.\n\n  \n
