Connolly Ranch Field Trips

Connolly Ranch’s field trip programs were developed within our discovery-based curriculum, which focuses on cultivating students’ 21st Century Learning Skills (critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and communication) in an outdoor environment. We offer engaging, hands-on, farm-based educational experiences designed to meet California state standards from preschool through high school. A field trip to Connolly Ranch allows teachers to give their students a unique experience that aligns with their educational goals. Our discovery and collaboration based approach works to evoke children’s curiosity and imagination. The lesson plans also allow for teachers to bring the experience back to the classroom and build upon it.
