Year End Resource and Clothing Exchange Party
2019-06-07 11:30 - 13:30 (America/Denver) | Camino Real Park, Dean Drive and Varsity Drive, Ventura, CA, 93003
Time to go through your shelves, bins and closets! Your outgrown resources and clothing might be exactly what another ACHEV family needs. Someone else may have exactly what you need! In fact, you don’t have to bring anything to participate. You could just come for the play, fellowship and shopping.
While the kids browse or play at the park, celebrate the end of the school year with fellowship, sunshine and your wishlist for next year. We have timed it so hopefully you can collect some of what you need here, then next month you can check out the used curriculum hall or the exhibit hall at the CHEA Convention.
City ordinance requires we exchange within our group. No sales to public, but if people wander in to inquire, be sure to share about home education and ACHEV. We’ve had some wonderful conversations with curious people over the years. Some have joined ACHEV.
Every year we have a free table for anything you don’t want to take home with you. This year, Geneva Atchison is collecting resources to send to a Christian homeschool group in Kenya, so I will have her pull out what they can use before donating the rest, most likely to Abednego Book Shoppe in Ventura.
Camino Real is a big park. Areas are first come, first served, so look for the ACHEV whiteboard easel and maybe a pop-up tent or play tipi. Last year we did well by the play structure near the tennis courts.
Suggestions for what to bring: resources and/or clothing to sell or give, camp chairs or blankets, a folding table if you wish, bags and/or boxes for shopping, small bills for making change, picnic lunch, sunscreen, outdoor play or sports equipment, small pop-up tent.

Camarillo Park Day**Changed to Game Day***
2020-03-17 13:30 - 15:30 (America/Denver) | Adair Home, 174 Granada Street, Camarillo, CA, 93010, United States
It is looking like there is a significant chance of rain tomorrow during park day hours, and a 100% chance of it being cold! So, I am opening up my home for some game time for all ages in lieu. I won’t be able to have all of the special activities at my house, but I can probably still get my son to play some Irish fiddle for us, and I can read a St Patrick’s Day book with the younger kids. Other than that, we can just have fun playing board games – we have a ton.
I understand that many people want to stay home at this time, and I totally understand. But, if you and your kids are in need of some fellowship, you are welcome to join us. Time: 1:30-3:30, Location: 174 Granada Street, Camarillo, CA 93010.
Please rsvp by emailing bonnieadair@verizon.net
I am trusting that if you have been ill recently, or have had contact with someone who has been ill or traveled recently from “hot spots” that you will stay home.

**Cancelled**Ojai Park Day Hoping to Reschedule
2020-04-20 11:00 - 14:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Soule Park Ojai, 1301 Soule Park Road, Ojai, CA
**This park day is cancelled, but we will try to reschedule it for sometime in late spring or early summer.
Let’s get together for a special park day in Ojai at Seoul Park. If you have not been to this park, it is well worth the drive. This park has not changed in decades, and my kids think it is so cool! It still has the huge rocket ship with a tall metal slide, planet with a ring around it, and swings on long chains. There is lots of open space, wooded area, and quiet, being far away from major roads. There is also a softball field, and my 15 year old boy would love to have some other big kids to play ball with!
There is a $2 fee to park, and you must have exact change to place in an envelope.
Highway 150 to Boardman Road; park entrance is off Boardman Road.
