Camarillo Park Day
2020-03-03 11:30 - 13:30 (America/Denver) | Mel Vincent Park, 668 Calistoga Road, Camarillo, CA, 93010, United States
Join us at Mel Vincent Park in Camarillo. This is Camarillo’s newest park. There are two really fun play grounds, basketball courts, and sand volleyball courts. There is a large grass area, adult exercise equipment, and a nice sidewalk that meanders around the park that is great for scooters, skates, or bikes (if the kids are careful around pedestrians). They recently installed bathrooms at this park; the park website has not been updated with that information.
We usually have two or three teens at Camarillo Park Day. If you have a teen that likes sports, please join us! They would really enjoy having more kids to hang out with and get a game of basketball or volleyball going (or something else).
If you are coming from Oxnard or Ventura, you can exit Springville, or Las Posas.
Park day is a great time for moms to relax and chat while the kids play. We have kids of all ages joining us. Take a break in your school day and join us for recess/lunch/PE at the park! Camarillo Park days are every 1st and 3rd Tuesday throughout the year. We will change parks now and then, so make sure to check the calendar to see where we are going to be.

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.

Nature Hike & Play Date
2021-10-28 10:00 - 13:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Camarillo Grove Park, 6968 E. Camarillo Springs Road (1, Camarillo, CA, 93012, United States
What: Hey moms of littles, let’s get together at Camarillo Grove Park for some nature play. We’ll meet in the nature center gazebo (as long as it’s available) and start with a short picture book. Then we’ll go on a hike at a comfortable pace for the younger kids, giving them time to pick up rocks and sticks and whatever else they are interested in. Camarillo Grove has a great trail that is fun, short, and just enough of an incline to make it interesting. It will take 30+ minutes to finish the hike. We can stop at play around the boulders for a little while, and then the hike ends at the nature center. We can eat lunch, play on the new playground, and I will bring a simple nature/fall inspired craft.
If you have teens, like I do, they can have fun at this park also. A mature group of teens can hike the trail on their own for exercise, and bring the family dog. My older kids like climbing the boulders – there are some big ones and it’s pretty fun. Does anyone have horseshoes? They have horseshoe pits at this park – that might be fun for the teens. Let me know if your teens want to come and keep mine company and get some exercise in.
Where: Camarillo Grove Park. The property for Camarillo Grove Park was donated by Adolfo Camarillo. It is a former stagecoach stop, and home to the oldest tree in the district. This park is beautiful and we just love exploring here. https://www.pvrpd.org/camarillo-grove-park
Cost: There is a $3 parking fee, and there is nowhere to park to avoid the fee.
Bring: Your picnic lunch and leave it in the car for after the hike. Comfortable clothes, tennis shoes, hats, layers and sunscreen. Kids can bring nature journals, magnifying glasses, binoculars, or anything else that they think will be fun to bring for exploring.
Note: Please be aware that this is an off-leash dog park. Dogs are not allowed inside the gated nature center at all, and dogs must be on a leash on the trails (but that doesn’t mean that everyone leashes their dogs on the trail). Dogs are allowed to be off-leash everywhere else inside the park.
RSVP is appreciated =) https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1gG5yTSczGz3WouTjxx3C6SB1i6ji9itAnnXXS–7H6w/edit?usp=sharing

Each family please bring a snack to share. Individually wrapped snacks preferred, but not required. Ex; string cheese, granola bars, cuties. Water, drinks, and paper products will be provided.
Valentines: Please have every child bring 20 valentines to pass out. Have your child write their name
in the FROM: spot on each card but please leave the TO: spot blank. This makes it easier to pass out.
Each child should bring a separate box or bag to collect valentines.
Jr/Sr High Schoolers: Please bring one wrapped, used book for the book exchange, along with one Valentine card attached to the book. It should be a book that you enjoyed and think your friends would like to read. You can bring a used book from home that you are ready to pass on to someone else, or you may purchase a copy from a used book store. Please think of a Bible verse that is meaningful to you to include in your Valentine card.
The Friends of the Library bookstore in Camarillo has the best prices on used books, and Abednego book store in Ventura has a sale right now and ACHEV members can use our trade credit for 50% off used books – you just have to mention it at checkout.

Let’s get together at the park and celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with a craft, some Irish fiddle, a St. Patrick’s Day picture book, and lunch together.

We will meet at Camarillo Grove Park. It’s a beautiful, quiet park with so much room for play and exploration. My teen son, Maxwell, has been playing fiddle for about 8 years and he will play an Irish fiddle tune or two for the kids. We will bring an old student violin for the kids to try to play if they want. My teen daughter, Alexandria, just started learning to play bagpipes, so she may give a demonstration as well (we won’t be able to allow anyone else to handle the bagpipes).
Bring a picnic blanket and an Irish or green/rainbow themed snack/lunch item to share with everyone. Your RSVP will help me plan for craft supplies. RSVP here. Thanks! This is geared toward the pk-elementary crowd, but all ACHEV members are welcome.
Please note: Camarillo Grove Park is an off leash dog park, and there is a $3 parking fee.
