Description

PLEASE READ THE DETAILS OF THIS FIELD TRIP CAREFULLY. EACH FIELD TRIP HAS UNIQUE GUIDELINES FOR AGES, NUMBER OF CHAPERONES, ETC. NO REFUNDS! This field trip is for Heartland Charter School students and their families. Join us as we have a negative tide to explore the tide pools and talk about the flora and fauna of our beautiful Carpinteria Beach. Plan to explore the tide pools and share finds with fellow Heartland students. This is a special habitat for us to observe and explore!Twelve miles south of Santa Barbara, Carpinteria State Beach offers a mile of beach for swimming, surf fishing, tidepool exploring, and camping. The Spanish named the area Carpinteria because the Chumash tribe, which lived in the area, had a large seagoing canoe-building enterprise, or "carpentry shop" here. This was because of naturally occurring surface tar, which was used to waterproof the canoes. Tide Pools are rocky areas along the shoreline that are located between the high tide and low tide elevations. They are only accessible by land during certain low tides, being able to visit these unique habitats is a special opportunity. Tide pools contain starfish, sea anemones, crabs, snails, octopuses and sea urchins. Harbor seals and dolphins can often be seen near Carpinteria State Beach.Please do some of the Pre Field Trip activities found in this link: https://padlet.com/carpinteriastatebeach/95rd2pmjmkbygte4 We encourage families to turn in a sample that is linked to the field trip that you attended during your next learning period.
