The Chumash Tour is a hands-on, interactive outdoor tour designed to bring the Chumash culture to life! Students will experience different aspects of Chumash life to help gain an understanding of the Native Chumash civilization. Set in the Calabasas Creek Park, this program is geared specifically for Third Grade Students. The program consists of a 5-station tour which includes the storytelling of Chumash myths and legends inside a recreated 'ap (Chumash dwelling), learning about gathering and processing necessary plants for food and medicine, discussions on the traditional methods of hunting, gathering and fishing and making a Chumash inspired necklace while discussing manufacturing and trade. The students will also participate in a game of skill that village children would have played. The Chumash Tour is a fair-weather tour and in the event of rain, the tour is canceled with an opportunity to reschedule pending available dates. Teachers, if you'd like your Third Graders to experience this hand-on educational tour, please fill out the application below.
