Summer field trips can be scheduled from May 24th to August 6th. Click here to email about field trips or call 451-0691. We are expanding our programs! Please let us know if your group is interested in a specific topic. This summer we are offering: 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 growing the farm’s produce. They will also go 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.
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.
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.
Available from mid-July until the Fall. 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. Available
from mid-July until the Fall. We
will start scheduling Fall Field Trips in July. Please follow these links to:
