Field Trips
We are open for field trips this 2022 Season. Like any other year, we do only accept one school per day. We strongly encourage the opportunity for students and teachers to continue learning and experiencing an outdoor classroom setting. Teachers are most welcome to call for information or to discuss opportunities. You can reach us by phone at : 519 692 5451
Total corn awareness, and we have pumpkins too!
Students have the opportunity to learn all about pumpkins; the origins, varieties and uses. Think pumpkin pie, and roasted seeds! They will appreciate the rich variety of sizes, colours, the feel the weight of them, see and feel the stringy pulp and taste of the pumpkin seeds. Each field trip will give students an opportunity to travel by wagon to the Pumpkin Patch to choose a pumpkin of their own. The pumpkin patch will be available later in September and throughout October.
Education has always been a highlight at the Thamesville Maize. Students along with teachers and chaperones have an opportunity to learn about corn and pumpkins by seeking out our brand new information boards. Students are more than welcome to ask Ingrid questions throughout their field trip regarding the information they have read about.
Students along with their chaperones will have an opportunity to travel through the corn maze, working on clues, and finding their way to the exit.
Primary / JK & SK Field Trips
A great opportunity to get the young ones outdoors! Students will have an opportunity to play on the farm yard; playing games, jumping on the jumbo jumpers, experiencing the feel of corn kernels in the corn barn, practice agility on some low ropes and much more. Students will have an opportunity to learn about pumpkins; how pumpkins grow, view different varieties of pumpkins as well as peek inside a pumpkin. Each student will have an opportunity to travel by wagon to the pumpkin patch to pick a pumpkin to return to school with. All students will have an opportunity to travel a small corn maze with a small group working together to determine which paths to travel to find the exit, the small corn maze also features an activity to do that will earn them a prize once it is completed.
Picnic areas are available for groups who choose to bring their lunches and snacks along.
We do require chaperones to accompany and supervise all school groups in the maze. We recommend one adult for every five students. Teachers enjoy free admission, and we will happily admit free one chaperone for every five children. Additional chaperones will be charged $9.00 ($7.96 + HST) and the cost per student is $9.00 ($7.96 + HST)
