The Northern Chumash school group program takes a hands-on approach to learning about the ancestral past of the Northern Chumash tribe. Students will rotate through a series of stations where they will deepen their understanding of the Northern Chumash and discover the importance the natural world played in providing an abundance of resources for the Northern Chumash tribe for thousands of years. Most activities for this field trip will take place outdoors.

Activity 1, Hands-on activities: Make acorn mush, play Northern Chumash games, create rock art

Activity 2, Lagoon Walk: Nature walk around Oceano Lagoon. Learn about native plants and their uses and discover many more natural resources utilized by the Northern Chumash along the Oceano Lagoon.
