“Ohlone Village”

Students learn about the Ohlone Indians, their plant and animal resources and the ancient skills used to construct homes, boats, beds, baskets, and even toys! Inside a real Tule House students experience life in an Ohlone village. Dino Labiste or Susan Witmore of Outside Educators will conduct the 1.5 hour class. Price: $200 per class includes all materials. This class is only available on Tuesday afternoon and not eligible for free field trip(12:00-1:30). Great for California History. Schedule a science trip in the morning and an Ohlone Village in the afternoon. All that for $200.00. For in class presentations go to http://outsideeducators.com.

Schools that travel more than 30 minutes may have lunch at Tule Ponds. However, teachers must supervise children and use recycling while being responsible for clean-up.

If it rains? This facility is a flood control area, and during rains we can still visit the ponds. We will have umbrellas to walk a shorter version of the trail. We have appropriate hands on activities inside. If the rains are very hard, we will reschedule if we have available dates with no penalty.
