Description:

Registration opens 03/10 at 9:00 am.

Ages 5-11 (Kindergarten to Elementary school age) 

Field Trip Description: Gardening is educational and develops new skills including: Responsibility– from caring for plants. Understanding– as they learn about cause and effect (for example, plants die without water, weeds compete with plants) Self-confidence – from achieving their goals and enjoying the food they have grown.

We will visit The Triangle Oasis Farm for a tour. Kids will engage with the plants and gather greens to make a salad to accompany their lunch. We will pot seeds in soil for each child to take home and nurture.

Field trips are momentous times in a child’s life. It allows them to enjoy a change of scenery and spend time outside of the classroom doing more hands-on learning. Our goal is to provide children with an engaging and educational experience, giving them exposure to our community and its resources. Creating hands-on, memorable experiences.
