JCHE Crater Lake Snowshoeing Field Trip

JCHE CRATER LAKE SNOWSHOEING FIELD TRIP

Led by a Crater Lake Ranger, ages 6 to adult are welcome to participate in a Crater Lake Snowshoeing Field Trip. This exhilarating snow hike will begin at 10 am on Tuesday, April 28 at the Rim Village. Please use your honest judgment regarding your family's ability to engage in this vigorous hike. Please do not bring a child under 6 years old. The Rangers are being lenient on us, trusting our judgment. Carrying children in backpacks is not advisable. Admittance to the park, the snowshoes and the guided hike are free to us! Please come only if your entire party is participating in the field trip. (Otherwise you are expected to pay the $10.00 admittance.) We will learn about geology, winter ecology, watersheds and engage in a snow science project. The hike ends about 1pm. Bring your own lunch to eat after the hike. Wear snow boots, waterproof boots, or hiking boots. A bread bag can second as a waterproof lining over the sock. Do not wear tennis shoes. Bring dry shoes, socks, clothes to change into after the hike. All participants should be able to traverse in snow. All families must have a parent chaperone. You can opt to traverse the shorter hike while others finish the longer route. A parent could take the shorter route with your younger children and send your Jr. High/High School age child to finish the route under the supervision of another adult. When you register, I will send you pre-education links, information and a park map. Please contact Laura Hreha by April 24 via laura_hreha@yahoo.com or 541-858-2017. There is room for 30 students and 10 chaperones or a 5 student to 1 adult ratio. Should be fun...snow or no snow!

HSG- Crater Lake Field Trip, Fri Oct 14th

HSG- Crater Lake Field Trip, Fri Oct 14thA field trip to Crater Lake National Park has been planned for October 14th!
Some of the topics covered include geology, watersheds, and plant and animal adaptations. This ranger-led program is geared for students 4th grade-8th grade, but the Park Ranger Education Coordinator was happy to work with our "multi-age" group to bring all school-aged children*. The older students students will have the opportunity to lead us through a GPS earthcaching segment.

This is a FREE field trip and park admission is waived for our group. We can make arrangements to carpool up there, as/if needed.

To participate, I must have the following information ASAP:
YOUR FIRST & LAST NAME
NAME & AGE OF EACH CHILD
YOUR PHONE NUMBER

*Younger siblings are welcome to join our group, however they must be able to walk with the group (please don't depend on strollers, as the rangers can not guarantee that all areas will be accessible).

We are able to have a maximum of 30 students (including siblings) and must have at least 6 parent-leaders available when we divide into groups. These would be parents without younger children to attend to, so please let me know if that is something you can help with:)

Thank you! This is bound to be a fun and exciting educational opportunity!
Any questions or to register, please contact: Tika Weeks  hsgathering@gmail.com
