CML Teachers’ Page

This page is meant for teachers/field trip organizers who will be joining us for the Chumash Maritime Lifeways: Land and Water (CML) field trip. If you haven't yet applied, you can do so here.

Please utilize this Teacher Page and the resources housed here to stay on track with important field trip preparation tasks, resources, and paperwork.

As always, please feel free to reach out to us at any time with any questions you have or clarifications you might need!

Required Paperwork

  • 1) Completed Roster

    Acting as the coversheet of your required paperwork packet, this document is:

    • a list containing the first+last name of all adults (teachers, instructors, chaperones) AND youth in attendance

    • a record to keep track of the rest of the required paperwork for this field trip

    Use this to track paperwork progress across your classroom. Please ensure this page is the top page of the paperwork packet on the day of your field trip.

    2) Liability Releases

    In order to gain access to the program site, we require that ALL

    1. adults (chaperones, teachers, instructors)

    2. AND youth

    bring signed liability release to the field trip. For any minors, this liability release must be signed by a legal guardian.

    PLEASE NOTE: Any individuals without an appropriately signed release will not be permitted onto Wishtoyo grounds.

    3) Photo and Video Release

    This one is not required,  but we always hope to capture the special moments of connection and learning during our field trips - with the appropriate permission from individuals (adults) and/or guardians.

Required Evaluations

    • For Teachers/Instructors: Complete this Post-Trip Evaluation within 1-2 weeks after your field trip

    • For Students: As of 12/1/24, our student evaluations are being updated. Once they are ready, we will include updated links here AND send them to you directly. For now, these are not required.

Field Trip Rules and Expectations

  • Please go over all of this information in class with students 1-3 days before your trip to prepare for your day. 

    Please also share with any adult chaperones/teachers/instructors that may attend.

Driving and Parking Directions

  • This map shows where the bus and any cars should park and how to enter the Village. 

    Please make sure to share this map with the bus driver before leaving your school/program site as we often have buses attempt to drop off in the Nicholas Canyon Beach parking lot. 

    There is NO ACCESS from the parking lot to the village. It is also EXTREMELY difficult to turn a full-sized bus around in the lot so adhering to these instructions is very important.
