School/Club Tours and Activities

Click here for a virtual tour of the farm.

School and club tours are available September through May. Visit a real working Christmas tree farm, an Environmental Education Experience. Most children don't realize that Christmas trees are grown on Tree Farms. There are many varieties of trees, and it takes science to develop the right conditions for growth.

On this tour participants will take a guided walk through our orchard and forest and receive mementos of the tour. Also, plan to visit with our farm animals and picnic while enjoying the outdoors and a beautiful day in Paradise.

Christmas season tours ( December ) recommended for pre school, K-3, receive a Christmas tree to donate or help make a wreath/swag to take back to the classroom. School tour fee $3.00 per child, no charge for accompanying adults. $75.00 minimum.

Prior to the tour, visit the National Christmas Tree Association web site www.realtrees4kids.org for assistance in preparing lesson plans and other fun and educational facts/activities for the kids. We customize our tour to your goals and CA State Curriculum standards.

School Tour Testimonial

June 2, 2008

Dean Anne and Joe,

Thank you for participating in our Christmas tree farm research project. It has been very interesting hearing from people for around the country.

Our third graders made a giant chart, consolidating the data from the various farms that participated. A phone of kids working on the chart and one of the final completed project is enclosed.

The students have visited both farms that are here in our area, and it was fun to compare what we learned from you with what we have seen here. They were surprised by the large number of species of trees that you grow there. It is much more limited here.

Your reply was the first one we received, and the kids were very excited when it came!

Again thank you for sharing your information with us. It was a fun and educational project for the kids.

Sincerely

Nancy DeCamp
Third grade Science Teacher
Booker T. Washington Elementary
