We'll meet in the zoom room and introduce ourselves and our dogs, A few icebreakers will tell me how to cater to your interests. You'll be in your kitchen, I'll be in mine. I'll guide you through the Nacho assembly, an easy and fun cooking activity for beginner or seasoned cooks, aimed at keeping it simple so we'll have time to play with our dogs. All ingredients should be prepped beforehand. Chips, cheese and salsa and you're good to go, but creativity is encouraged to "Create Your Own Nacho Adventure" (suggestions in "What to Bring") The ingredients are layered on a tray and put in the oven. The results are delicious and will become a family favorite. Your kids can learn to make them. Substitutions can be made easily for dietary restrictions. While the Nachos cook, we'll do a little Dog Show and Tell with our canines, taking turns giving them screen time. This is your chance to show us your tricks and tell us your dog stories. I may even share a few dog tunes on my ukulele! Come with a sense of humor, things could get chaotic in our Virtual Dog Park! We're all Dog Lovers at this party! When the Nachos are done, Voila! Dinner's ready. Time allowing we'll play some dog games and dance. Who let the dogs out? Woof! No dog? Come anyway. Download and print a mask, see link. These crazy times call for comfort. Let's bring it with comfort food and our beloved fur babies. Other things to note All ages, families and dogs are welcome. Choose your own ingredients,but make sure everything is prepped ahead: cheese grated, meat cooked, olives and veggies chopped, cans open, etc. Keeping it simple will give us more face time with our pooches. Flexibility is the name of the game.

Find out what you can eat in the woods! We'll hike in the lovely Santa Cruz mountains where I'll guide you on a beautiful, quiet 2.5-mile hike in the unique coastal oak & redwood forest. Together we'll learn the ancient ways of identifying edible and medicinal mushrooms, plants, roots, flowers, nuts and seeds (depending on the season). Along the way we'll discuss proper harvesting and preparation techniques while connecting to the beauty and abundance of our ecosystem. This experience is a fun, hands-on way to connect to what can feed, heal and harm us in the wild. You'll walk away with a whole new appreciation and understanding of nature! The hike is doable for all skill levels. See you on the trail! Other things to note: Secure your own transportation to Verve Coffee and we'll caravan to the hike start. Bring: layers (it can get chilly in the redwoods), water bottle and comfortable hiking shoes. Optional: hiking poles, camera, hat, sunglasses.

We'll start by foraging through the farm to make a diverse "goat salad." We'll walk through the garden, briefly stop to admire the beehives, and work our way to feeding and petting our silly goats and adorable Babydoll sheep. After our goats and sheep are nice and full, we'll spend some time with the hens, roosters, and ducks. We'll feed them organic hen scratch and farm greens, if available. We'll watch them happily scratch around and quack and coo. We'll pet and hold them too (if you'd like!). While the birds are busy, we'll hand feed our gentle cows some of their favorite treats. After washing off any cow slobber, we'll treat you to a light seasonal farm picnic. You'll then walk off those calories by taking our miniature horses for a stroll, and you'll pet and feed these sweeties. Following our horse experience, we'll step into the chicken coops to collect eggs for our farm customers. We'll compare the various types, shapes, colors, and sizes. We'll finish our experience with a calm and relaxing visit with our bunnies. We'll pet, brush and cuddle with these sweet and soft fur balls. All along the experience, you will learn fun facts about our diverse animal family, and you’ll leave with a half dozen of our grass pastured eggs. Other things to note Wear comfortable closed-toed walking shoes and clothes you don't mind possibly getting a bit dirty. Boots and long pants

My tour is a 2mile one-way tour. You will start your tour on footpath that runs along the San Lorenzo River next to an old trestle. This is a unique and less visited area that is full of interesting and historical stories. You will then walk along the 150 year old railroad tracks next to the Boardwalk. The Boardwalk is one of the oldest amusement park in United States and I have stories that go way back over 200 years. You will walk down the tracks to Cliff street where the tour takes a turn and heads up Beach Hill. Beach Hill is one of the oldest neighborhoods in Santa Cruz. It has an interesting collection of Victorian homes, secrets and stories. Stories about sea captains, serial killers, murders, drag racing, surfers and more. The tour ends at the Las Palmas Taco Bar near the wharf. Each tour is unique and always has room for spontaneous fun adventures that happen along the way. I always add humor, odd facts and sometimes I don't let the truth get in the way of a good story:) By the end of my tour, you will know more stories, old legions and interesting facts about Santa Cruz than a lot of locals do. Thank you- Karen

Beginner Surfing l is our popular 3-hour surf clinic. So what will you be learning? This clinic was designed with the beginner in mind – we welcome complete newbies as well as people who have tried surfing on their own for a while and still need help. We will walk you through all the basics to get you started and catching waves! There will be a short land-lesson to start, and after that we'll head out to catch some waves. You'll get approximately 1:45-2 hours of "water time" in the 3-hour class. FAQ: Why are some of these class times SOOO early?! Answer: When it comes to surfing, mother nature sets a lot of the rules - that's what makes it such a unique sport. If we don't go on the right tide, we won't get any waves! While those early morning sessions might be hard to wake up for, they are also truly magical. Great surf conditions, no wind, no crowds - it is about as epic as it gets. If you make the commitment go early, we can promise you'll be rewarded with the experience of a lifetime!
