  • This program is made possible by our hosts, who have a great little homestead backing up to a large tract of Seneca Creek Park.  
Pickup/Drop-off:
  • From Bondy Ln., turn left onto Pulver Pl. then park on the right side of the road, just before or after the long driveway, an instructor will be waiting to greet you.
  • Parents are welcome to walk down to check out the homestead, but please don't touch any of the fences (around chickens and some of the planted areas) - they are electrified. 
  • If it is stormy weather at pick up or drop-off, it would be possible to drive down to near the equipment barn where students would take shelter.
