DESCRIPTION: Our itineraries are customizable and we work with the group leader to make sure are meeting your group’s learning objectives!

Every field trip:

  • Starts on our playground, with a circle time meeting which includes introductions and safety rules

  • Includes a barn tour - which is where we visit the barn and meet, interact and learn about all our animals (chickens, goats, bunnies, pig, miniature horses, ponies and horses)

  • Includes additional specific learning “stations” designed for your group

  • Includes the playground picnic time for your group to eat lunch or a snack together

  • Ends with an (optional) horse ride for each kid on the playground

**ALL adult field trips vary from the above itinerary - please contact me for more info.

Cheyne Ranch provides:

  • Staff / volunteer ratio of about 1 Cheyne Ranch person for every 4 kids

  • About 1.5 - 2 hours of pre-planned instructional time, usually in small groups that rotate through stations of learning

  • Playground & picnic area (seating for about 40)

  • trash cans & extra trash bags

  • hand washing stations

  • bathroom

  • Parking for about 20 vehicles

  • Opportunity for a group photo (please remind me)

DURATION: After hosting over 100 field trips over the past 4 years, we have determined happy families and guests enjoy field trips on our property for the magical number: 3 hours! We have attempted 2 hour field trips, but there isn’t enough time and people stay 3 hours anyway. We have extended the time to 4 hours occasionally, but most guests left right around the 3 hour mark. There is something magical about that 3 hour number.

WHEN: Field trips are usually scheduled for weekdays at 10:00 AM. Our availability varies by the week and season.
