SUMMARY:Great Pacific Pumpkin Patch Field Trip

SUMMARY:Joni & Friends Field Trip

With every wheelchair and Bible delivered\, every retreat and respite event held\, and every church mobilized to integrate and honor people with disabilities\, Joni and Friends follows the call of Jesus found in Luke 14:“Go out quickly into the streets and alleys of the town and bring in the poor\, the crippled\, the blind\, and the lame.… Go out to the roads and country lanes and compel them to come in\, so that my house will be full” (Luke 14:21\, 23\, NIV). \nIf you aren’t familiar with this wonderful ministry\, check out their website: https://joniandfriends.org/about/ \nOptional lunch/park play date at local Reyes Adobe Park after the tour.  31400 Rainbow Crest Dr\, Agoura Hills\, CA 91301.  Let me know if you plan to join us for that. \nCost: Free.  No suggested donation\, but as a non-profit organization\, they do value donations. \nService Opportunity: You can make gospel bracelets before the field trip and bring them with you to donate to their ministry.  Here are instructions! \nGospel_Bracelet_Instructions_2022 \nWho: ACHEV members.  All ages and parents are welcome\, but be aware that tour is geared to ages 7 and up.  Younger children may become bored and will need to be closely supervised by parents and taken aside if they become a distraction.   Joni & Friends prefers that younger children are left at home if possible\, but they do not expect that parents will be able to hire babysitters and do not want to hinder families from attending due to childcare issues.  Babes in arms are welcome\, and the facility is stroller & wheelchair friendly. \nSign Up: We can have a maximum of 40 kids and parents attending. They need a head count ASAP.  I gave them an estimated number of 20-30.  Our final roster is due two weeks in advance\, but if we expect fewer than 20 or more than 30\, they would really like to have more than two weeks notice.  The deadline is January 3rd\, but signing up much earlier is very helpful.   \nSign up on the sign up sheet HERE  Please make sure to list all attendees on the sign up sheet including all parents and babies. \nWhere to Meet/Directions: Exit 101 fwy at Reyes adobe.  There are 2 buildings.  Come up driveway and continue past the first building keep turning left (3 left turns to get up the driveway).  There is signage that should help us find the correct location. Park in the parking lot or along the side of the building.  We will meet inside the building.  You can go in the front door and see the receptionist.  I’ll try to be the first one there. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Glass Bottom Boat Tour- Morro Bay
DESCRIPTION:What: View Morro Bay above water and below from our semi-submersible vessel. See schools of fish\, jellyfish and kelp\, from inside the boat! From above deck\, see our local sea otter\, harbor seal and sea lion populations.  We’ll have a private educational tour that includes the history of Morro Rock.  45-60 minute tour. \nTime: TBD  I am aiming for a tour at 11am (earliest)\, 12pm\, 1pm\, or 2pm (latest).  I have contacted the company already and ensured availability\, but I need another family or two committed to joining the tour before I actually book it.  We should be able to get the time that we want\, so if you have a preference please tell me. \nWho: ACHEV Families\, including non- ACHEV siblings\, grandparents\, aunts/uncles\, etc. \nCost: $15-$20 per person .  A private tour is $300 with a maximum of 21 people.  If we fill the boat\, it works out to about $15 per person.  I will need to collect $ in advance and will contact you to arrange that after you sign up. \nMorro Bay is a beautiful place to take a day trip and the closest place that I am aware of that you can view sea otters in the wild.  There are so many fun things to do there.  Some activities I hope to include in our day (optional) is a visit to the Morro Bay natural History Museum https://www.morrobay.org/listing/morro-bay-state-park-museum-of-natural-history/15568/  If others are interested\, I can contact them to see if i can book a docent led tour/field trip either before or after our sub sea tour.  Another great place to visit if you are studying sea creatures this year\, is the Elephant Seals in San Simeon   The viewing point is 40 minutes North of Morro Bay.  it is not the peak time to see large populations\, so before deciding to visit here\, I would call to see what the likelihood of seeing elephant seals is.  I am also thinking about renting kayaks and kayaking around the harbor – when my husband and I did this a long time ago\, we were actually kayaking alongside sea otters. \nSign Up Here\n \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Berry Picking Field Trip
DESCRIPTION:Field Trip at One Acre Farm!  One Acre Farm grows delicious organic blueberries and strawberries.  We are expecting there will be plenty of strawberries for picking and hopefully lots of blueberries as well.  This growing season has been an odd one for them with the extended colder and gloomy weather.  The sun has finally come out and has been ripening the berries.\n\n\nLearn first hand about…\nGrowing Fruit\nPlanting\nSelling\nSmall Business Farming…We love teaching our future generations and would love to pass our knowledge and encouragement on to them!\n\n\n\nCost: $3 per 6 oz blueberries/ $24 per full bucket\n            $7 per pound strawberries (@ 44 cents per ounce)\n Pay with cash or card\n\n\n\n\nIt is best to use the buckets they provide to pick your berries into\, but you can bring your own containers for taking the berries home to save plastic\, or they will provide plastic clamshell containers for free if you do not have your own take home containers.\n\nWho: All ages.  All ACHEV families.  This is a fun field trip to invite Grandparents to join in.\nOne Acre Farm is located on Gerry Ranch on the outskirts of Camarillo right off of Santa Rosa Rd.  I will email everyone more specific details for parking/directions before the field trip.\nSign Up Here

SUMMARY:Nature Track Field Trip to Gaviota State Park
DESCRIPTION:What: Field Trip with Nature Track to Gaviota State Park (not beach).  Emphasis: Plants and animals\, habitats\, human use of the land\, natives. \nSpecially trained naturalists\, who enjoy sharing their knowledge and love of the outdoors with students\, lead NatureTrack adventures.  “The not-for-profit NatureTrack advocates the educational approach of noted author and educator David Sobel that fosters a child’s love of the earth while also developing a child’s academic and social competence. David Sobel’s most recent book “Place-Based Education: Connecting Classrooms & Communities” offers scientific and anecdotal evidence that placed-based education is successfully meeting\, and in many cases surpassing\, the various standards and mandates that are increasingly a part of educational reform in this country.” \nYou can read more about NatureTrack here \nWho: All ACHEV Members.  This field trip is geared towards K-8\, but younger and older siblings are welcome. \nCost: Free \nWhere: We will be at Gaviota State Park\, not the beach.  Exact meetup location details will be given was we get closer to the field trip date. \nWaivers must be completed at least one week in advance\, scanned and emailed to Monica Zamora at monicazam@gmail.com \nWaiver in English \nWaiver en Espanol \nSign Up Sheet Here\nAdditional Details: \n\nWe will be splitting up into two groups so that the docents can give plenty of attention to each student.\n We will be eating lunch on the trail\, as I understand it.  They ask that each student has their own backpack with two water bottles and lunch.   Just make sure you bring enough food and water for yourself and your kids with you on the walk – if you want to carry it all\, or have your kids carry their own is up to you.\nParents attending will be asked to participate in all activities with the exception of answering questions intended for the students!\nStudents are discouraged from bringing cell phones or cameras with them on the trail.  Parents may have a cell phone/camera\, but they would like parents to set a good example in not using them on the trip.  I think it is fine for the parents to take some pictures or use a cell phone if necessary\, but please make sure it is not a distraction.\n Participants should wear long pants\, closed toed sturdy shoes\, a hat and sunscreen.

SUMMARY:Calvary Center Stage Production of Peter & the Wolf
DESCRIPTION:What: A special school field trip production of Peter & The Wolf.  Last year we attended their production of Frozen Jr. and it was a very memorable event! \nCalvary Center Stage is cordially inviting your school to attend a production of Peter & the Wolf and other concert pieces in collaboration with Los Robles Children’s Choir and the Conejo Valley Youth Orchestra. This is a free event\, but a reservation is necessary to secure seats.  I have reserved 30 seats for ACHEV.  There is only one date for the show on Friday\, March 31 @ 10:00 am. The show will run approximately 45 minutes\, and students will have an opportunity to play some of the instruments in the lobby after the concert. \nAlthough the performance is only 45 minutes\, students will have a chance to try some of the instruments in the lobby after the concert. This will be made available until 11:15 am. \nThis is an Open Seating Event. Doors open a half hour before the performance.  I would like to meet up in front a little early (before doors open at 9:30) so we can try to sit together as a group.  Last year\, they did organize us by group and have special assigned seating by group.  As the event gets closer\, I will confirm with them what the seating arrangements will be and let everyone know what to do and where to meet. \nSign Up Here.   Sign up deadline is March 24\, 2023.  Please include all students and parents attending on the sign up sheet.

SUMMARY:Colonial Farm Life Field Trip at Riley's Farm
DESCRIPTION:Woo hoo!  I scheduled a field trip to the amazing Riley’s Farm!  If you haven’t heard of Riley’s Farm\, it is owned and run by a Christian family who are passionate about history and freedom.    If you want to know more about Riley’s Farm you van visit their website https://rileysfarm.com/ . \nWhat: Colonial Farm Life Field Trip: this is an amazing living history program.  This autumn field trip represents an exploration of American\ncolonial life emphasizing the cultural and domestic pursuits of hearth cooking\, children’s period games\, cider pressing\, weaving\, etiquette\, quill calligraphy and more. Read all the fun details here: \nWho: All ACHEV members are welcome.  Riley’s Farm is very family and homeschool friendly.  This field trip will be fun for all ages\, but is aimed at pre-k to 4th grade.  It is better suited to younger kids than the Revolutionary War Field Trip we went on last year.  This is a fun field trip to bring Grandma and Grandpa along for\, especially if they are into history and watching your kids do homeschooley stuff =) \nTime: The field trip runs from 10am-12pm. You must arrive at least 15 minutes early\, by 9:45am.  It is a long drive so give yourself plenty of time to arrive and account for traffic.  You will want to have time to visit the restroom before we start and maybe place a pie or lunch order for later.  I am going to need some time to check everyone in and make sure everyone has their stickers showing what group they belong to.  The drive is admittedly very long (but very much worth it)\, so please leave early enough to allow time for traffic or other unforeseen delays. \nHow Much: $17 per person\, including adults\, paid in advance.  If we get 30+ people\, the price goes down to $15 per person. \nBabies/toddlers 2 years old and younger are free.  If they are 3 and over\, they need a ticket.  This is a significant discount per person for registering as a group of 15+.  I need at least 15 people paid by 9/23/22 to make this happen.  I have to sign a contract and personally guarantee payment as well as make a deposit\, so I have to collect payment in advance from everyone by September 23rd.   They will only adjust 10% of the total price for no-shows/cancellations after that date\, which depending on our numbers\, will mean that I can only afford to refund maybe 2 tickets if there are no-shows or last minute cancellations. You can send a check to Bonnie Adair at 174 Granada Street\, Camarillo\, CA 93010\, meet up with me in person and give me cash or check\, send me $ via Zelle \, or Paypal me at https://paypal.me/bonniemaeadair?locale.x=en_US  .  I prefer cash or check or to use Zelle if possible (I cannot use Venmo\, sorry)  The cell number for my Zelle account is 805-504-6457.  You can also use my email address to Zelle me $\,  bonnieadair@verizon.net \nWhere: 12261 S. Oak Glen Rd.\, Oak Glen\, CA 92399 ***GPS Databases are often wrong for the farm\, please use their directions https://rileysfarm.com/index.php/map/ \nLunch:  You may pack your own lunch and leave it in the car.  We will have access to a picnic area.  You may want to bring a blanket or chairs in case there aren’t any tables available.  You can also buy lunch from the bakery.  Their food and pies are really good\, by the way\, and I highly recommend them =)  I always buy an extra whole apple pie and whole chicken pot pie to take home for the next day.  Such a treat!  Also\, they recommend you order ahead of time (you can order online or on-site in the morning when we arrive. Here is the most current menu and should be a close idea of what will be available https://rileysfarm.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/cc_menu_2wide_web.jpg \nMisc: This field trip is outdoors.  Please check the weather ahead of time\, wear layers\, bring hats and sunscreen\, extra water and snacks\, and be prepared for a long day. \nIf you want to be a weekend of it\, and spend the night in the Oak Glen area\, Riley’s Farm is having a Harvest Feast 18th Century Living History dinner with historical drama\, period appropriate live music and dancing.  See the details for that here.  Tickets for the dinner need to be purchased in advance online before they sell out.   That’s what we are planning to do to make the most of our trip out there.  I am also going to look up some other interesting things to do or see nearby.  We’d love to have some friends join us for the dinner. \nField Trip Sign Up Here \nPlease email me if you have any questions\, or need help signing up. \n \nThanks\, \nBonnie Adair \n805-504-6457
