At Rounds Ranch, we offer spring school class trips from mid May until the end of June that are designed to meet curriculum requirements for J/K - Gr. 3. All tours are "hands-on" and interactive. Included, is a large covered eating area with picnic tables for snack and lunch breaks, separate public washrooms, and a drinking fountain.
Farm Animal Tour
In the spring time at Rounds Ranch we celebrate 'new life' on the farm with baby animals born (or hatched) each week. The children will have an opportunity to hold, pet and feed baby bunnies, chicks, goats and sheep. They will also visit ponies, llamas, 'Glory' our donkey as well as observe and discover the basics of hatching chicks. Each parent helper will receive a list of questions to ask their group of 5 children when they visit the different animals. For example: What coat are these animals wearing? Feathers, fur, wool or hair. As a larger group the students will have an opportunity to bottle feed a lamb or a kid goat. The importance of farmers and where food comes from will be taught through an interactive game where the students identify where the various food items come from i.e. cheese comes from milk that comes from a dairy cow. This is a one hour guided tour designed to meet curriculum requirements for JK to Grade 2. The farm visit includes one additional hour in our western playground playing on the pedal carts, straw maze, barnyard boxcars, and western fort. (Our mist maze will be available to cool down on the hot days)
