Expired DOER DAY Colonial Farm Life: Field Trip to Riley’s Farm

Doer Day Students and Families:

We hope you’ll join Terra Arts on Friday, October 7th, as we venture out to Riley’s Farm to experience what life was like in the colonies.

During our 2-hour visit we’ll experience the domestic, agricultural, and cultural heritage of Colonial America through hands-on workshops like candle dipping, butter making, and writing with a quill and ink, among others!  Once the event concludes, guests will be able to stay and explore the farm at their leisure.

PLEASE NOTE: THIS FIELD TRIP REPLACES DOER DAY CLASSES ON THURSDAY, OCTOBER 6TH AND FRIDAY, OCTOBER 7TH.  THE SCHOOL’S CAMPUS WILL BE CLOSED ON THOSE DAYS.

ADMISSION

Admission costs are included as part of tuition for enrolled DOER DAY students.  Accompanying parents, siblings, friends, and Thinker Day students/families may also register for a nominal fee of $15 per person (see ticketing section below).

TRANSPORTATION AND DIRECTIONS

Parents/Guardians will be responsible for transporting their child(ren) to and from the event, and it is asked that guests arrive at least 15 minutes prior to the start of the event.
