Nature Hike & Craft
2023-05-22 10:00 - 13:00 | 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 30-45 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 will do a bird related nature craft after the hike, eat lunch, and play on the playground. Activities will be geared towards the 10 and under crowd, but all ages are welcome.
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. The craft I am planning is easy enough for preschoolers but would also be fun for older kids & teens who enjoy crafty things.
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 needed so I have enough craft supplies, thank you! =)

ACHEV Dad, Kevin Adair hosts this volleyball clinic for ACHEV kids 10 and up. The kids play volleyball games from 2pm-3pm. At 3pm, they sometimes continue playing volleyball for another hour, and sometimes they choose to get a different game going. We continue playing through the year, and if you log enough hours, you can count this for High School credit.
This is for fun, exercise, and to learn how to play the game, this is not hyper competitive. Kevin would love to do drilling and teach the kids more technique if they want to learn. So if you want to get better at serving, setting, etc. ask Mr. Adair to help you.
Who: ACHEV kids ages 10 and up. You don’t have to know how to play, Mr. Adair will teach you.
Drop off is okay for this event. If you are dropping off, please make sure we have your cell number in case we need to reach you.
We start at 2, and it’s really helpful if everyone gets there about the same time.
Please rsvp via email bonnieadair@verizon.net and make sure I have your email address and cell number in case I need to reach you.

Hike & Art
2023-07-25 10:30 - 13:00 | Ray Miller Trailhead, 3XP7+GC Malibu, California, CA, United States
RSVP by Monday night 7/24 by emailing or texting Bonnie 805-504-6457 bonnieadair@verizon.net I need to know who is coming so we can all start together.
What: A moderate hike for families with littles. Join us on a not-too-hard for the littles hike on the Ray Miller Backbone Trail. My plan is to stop at a nice overlook (not taking the whole trail) and sit to have some lunch and do some art. There is a spot that I think is wide enough for a small group to stop and sit. I will bring supplies for doing chalk pastel. There is a beautiful ocean view that the kids can try to draw. I have enough chalk pastels to share with a few families, but if you have your own, that would be helpful to bring them. Of course, you could choose to bring watercolors, oil pastel or something else too =) I think it will take us 45 min to not more than an hour to get up there with young children. Go potty before you leave home. There are portos in the parking lot, but it’s hard to say if they will be in decent enough condition.
Cost: Parking in the La Jolla Day use Parking lot will cost $8. Usually I go with my husband, and we park on PCH for free and walk in. I think with just me and the kids I would rather park in the lot and pay the fee. It’s up to you and your comfort level.
Bring: In addition to what you would normally want on a hike (sunscreen, hats, light jackets, etc) please bring a lunch in your backpack, a light blanket to sit on and chalk pastels or other art medium of your choice. I have enough chalk pastels to share with a small group of kids and will bring paper for everyone, but if you have your own art journal – even better =)
