Physics and Chemistry at Schools - One of the most effective and fun ways to learn science is through hands-on active learning. There is great interest and need for effective science education. The subjects we teach through experiments are: air pressure, earth sciences, electricity, energy, light, motion, sound, temperature and more. Every year we teach more than a 100 class hours for grades 2-12 after school and during the day at public, private, home and charter schools. Weekly programs are taught in 5-8 week series during or after school or on early dismissal days. Class tuition varies with the location of the class and the number of students. We show that science is fun, and that students are a lot smarter than they think. Outdoor Science Education, 831-423-5925

The riding program at Willow Pond teaches students self-discipline, patience, perseverance and attention to detail, while building their self esteem, and encouraging the development of independent thinking and problem solving skills. These qualities become values which can be drawn upon throughout the student's life. The Riding School environment and training approach is motivated by the intention to create physically and mentally healthy riders and horses. The goal is to create a partnership between horse and rider through the language of horsemanship, patience, and consistent work. These combined skills enhance communication, which allows them to culture a deep and rewarding relationship. This kind and encouraging format helps riders find the joy in the incremental successes of each day. Because we have a varied herd of school horses, each student gets the opportunity to work with many different horses, which greatly improves their riding ability and knowledge of horse behavior. The students learn how to tack and care for horses in a complete and holistic manner. Riding is only one part of the experience at Willow Pond.
