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.
Online Registration: Please scroll down to the online registration. Usually, registration is done by the primary parent (mom, grandma, dad, etc.) and there is a place to list the child’s name in the notes.
