Our farm field trips are over for this year.
We
would like to thank this year's sponsors - Ridgeview Chiropractic,
Test the Waters Adventure Sports, Gymnastics Inc., and The Holistic
Medical Clinic - for their support of our education programs.
This
year over 1600 children participated in one of the following field
trips we offered:
Life
on the Farm: This program will give children the opportunity
to see the Farm during the growing season. Students will interact
with the farm’s goats, sheep, chickens and bees, as well as
learn about the growth of the farm’s produce. They will also
be taken on an exciting adventure exploring the forest surrounding
the farm to learn about decomposition and the different animals
and plants that live there.
This
field trip can also be tailored to specific interests, including
math, language and poetry, insects, and wool. If you are interested
in having us tailor a field trip for your group, please let us know.
Cost: $4/child, chaperones are free
Wool
and Felting: Our Wool and Felting field trip teaches kids
about the sheep who live at Calypso. They will also become familiar
with the uses of sheep’s wool including spinning and felting.
Cost: $6/child, Chaperones are free
Pizza
Making: Our Pizza Making field trips offer kids the opportunity
to make fresh pizza from produce grown right at Calypso Farm! Kids
will make homemade cheese, and use freshly picked vegetables and
herbs to top their pizzas. They will also learn how to grind wheat
into flour, and make pizza dough. At the end of the field trip kids
will watch as their pizzas cook in the wood-fired outdoor oven.
Cost: $6/child, chaperones are free
Natural
Dyes: During our Natural Dyes Field Trip kids will learn
how to make and use natural dyes collected from flowers grown at
Calypso Farm. Kids will also learn about the life cycles of bees
and the important part they play in pollinating flowers.
Cost: $6/child, chaperones are free
