GVCS Field Trip 2007-2008

Alpacas at Windy Hill Tour

 

Golden Valley Charter School is sponsoring 5 field trips for the 2007-2008 school year.  The fifth of these field trips will be to the Alpaca Farm at Windy Hill, located in Somis, CA.  The tour will be approximately 1 ½ hours in length, and will consist of students being shown how a "working ranch" is run. They will be shown the different areas of the ranch such as the birthing area, mom and babies, males, vet area, etc. Students will also learn what these animals are all about.  They will learn the history of the animals, about their fleece and their upkeep. They will also be allowed to go in and feed and pet some alpacas.
