Fieldtrips for 2009 Season Teachers, are you looking for a unique
field trip opportunity that provides the added benefit of getting the
students lost for a while? It is our objective every year to
expand the agriculture experience for the student and build educational
value for the teachers through a fun and exciting fieldtrip adventure.
Our goal is to provide a hands-on environment that encourages students
to explore. We have three types of fieldtrips
available. The differences between the three are as follows: Fieldtrip #1 The Corn Maze Only (One Hour) . . . . . . . . . . . $4.75
The fieldtrip includes:
If you want to extend your time at the maze, your class may bring their lunch and a blanket to picnic in our open field. As an added element of fun, we will have mini-mazes called Logic Mazes. The students will need to use their minds to determine the correct way to maneuver through the mazes according to the rules of the maze. Logic mazes are great for ages 8 and older. Fieldtrip days are every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday beginning October 6 through November 19. We have four one-hour sessions per day or three 1-1/2 hour sessions. Use our "Fieldtrip Online Request Form" to schedule or decide on a time and date. We can accommodate 100 students per session.
One chaperone or teacher is required for every six (6) students. Teachers should assign six or less students per chaperone before leaving the school. Chaperones will assist and supervise students in his or her group during different activities. Teachers need to make it clear to chaperones that they are responsible for their group to follow the farm rules during their visit. Homeschool groups receive the same rates with a few exceptions. Parents and other adult family member are considered a chaperone. All children in pre-K thru 12th are considered students. Any children 1 to 3 years are $3.50 for fieldtrips #1 & 3 (includes a pumpkin or gourd), and $1.50 for fieldtrip #2. No charge for infants. Additional pie pumpkins are available for purchase.
Remember
we are limited to 32 fieldtrip days. Plus with the threat of many hurricanes
this season you may want to schedule your fieldtrip as early in the
season as possible. Mondays and Fridays are set
aside for rescheduled fieldtrips due to the weather. Make your
reservations as soon as possible. You may reserve your trip right now by
completing our Online
Request Form.

maze
and agricultural principles. Students will spend an additional 15 to
20 minutes maneuvering through half the maze with six strategically
placed directional clues. The clues will be in the form of
workstations. The students will be given information to view or
read. Then they will answer a multiple-choice question.
Directions to the next education station follow each answer choice.
Correct answers will give the correct direction. Wrong answers
will send them in the wrong direction. Students will rely on
reading comprehension, listening skills, reasoning skills, math
skills, science concepts, communication skills, and working together
as a team. We will change the stations to match your student grade
level, K-8. 
Pumpkin
Patch in October. Each child will
choose his or her pumpkin. In the past, the children chose
their pumpkins among the pumpkin vines, but this year our pumpkins
did not grow. After two attempts to plant, the heavy rains
would over water the young pumpkin plants causing them to die.
Instead, we will have pallets full of pie pumpkins for students to
choose.
