Overnight Trips

 

 

FOR PARENTS AND TRIP LEADERS OF 'OVERNIGHTERS' Our class trips are much like a camping trip for your class. You will have to provide all the essential cooking gear for you group as well as sleeping tents, games for after hours etc.  You are responsible for the behavior of the children and to be sure of their safety.  Parents are also expected to join in and help guide the children in the daily activities.

 

We will provide for your camping trip: an 8-foot picnic table, a 1.5-gallon water cooler for water storage, straw bales for sitting around the camp and a port-a-potty.  The farm also provides any food that we are growing at the time of your trip so please have your food planner contact us regarding food availability.

 

The farm does have lots of pollen and dust so allergies may be a problem for those children who are particularly sensitive.  We ask that no dogs be brought, due to our farm animals.

 

For all questions regarding your trip should please contact Annie Main the farm to school coordinator  The farm phone number is (530) 787-3187. We look forward to your visit.
