Dear School Educator
Cannamore Orchard is pleased to present our children’s programs to your school as an addition to your field trip curriculum. We offer strawberry, apple and pumpkin tours to school groups up to grade 6 during the spring and fall months.
For all group reservations, we offer a picnic area, use of the mazes: the dark maze (bring your own flashlights!), left and right turn only maze, pipe maze, and the coloured patio stone mazes. We also have freestanding finger mazes, play structures, and life-size checkers. You can visit the animal corral, inspect the bee yard and enjoy either an outdoor or covered area picnic while on your tour. You pick the tour for your group: our strawberry fields, the apple orchard or the pumpkin field on a guided wagon ride! If you would like to visit the activity/museum display, please let us know when booking your tour so arrangements can be made. This area contains displays related to apples, honey, maple sugar, strawberries, pumpkins and Halloween as well as eggs and cherries. There are also activities that children can do related to how things were done in the past. Please note that it may not always be possible to get a French or bilingual guide for the activity/museum area. Not only will the children leave after having a hands-on experience, they will receive worksheets and/or colouring sheets, and they will also take home from the fall tours a bag of apples or a small pumpkin of their very own!
All tours are available for $7.00 (plus HST) per student. One supervisor or teacher per 8 students is admitted free of charge. Additional supervisors/parents are $3.00 (plus HST) per person. Tours are available in either French or English. Strawberry tours usually begin at the end of May. Apple tours begin in late August and usually last until the first days of October. Pumpkin tours can begin in late September and go till the end of October. Please note there is a minimum charge of $75.00 plus HST for any tour.
For timing purposes a complete visit, including guided tour, visiting animals, using outdoor mazes and having a picnic, usually takes approximately 2 hours. After your tour, you are free to use the facilities for your own activities. Tours are usually given in the morning or in the afternoon.
Please note that all activities related to the Spooky Wagon Ride™ are not included in any of the tours.
Sincerely,
Dennis & Claire Taylor
P.S. You are advised to book early as the tour schedule fills quickly.
