October 2014 – Oasis Camel Dairy & Julian

On Friday, October 17, 2014, everyone is invited to join Senior Center members to the Oasis Camel Dairy and Julian, California. The adventure begins with an “All About the Oasis Camel Dairy” tour led by Camel Dairy Owner’s Gil and Nancy Riegler. This intimate, candid tour includes a seated “show” presentation where camels come to you followed by a leisurely, short stroll to the camel enclosures for some camel cuddling. There is also an opportunity for a camel ride, please see below for information about camel rides. Following the dairy, Tour participants will visit the historic town of Julian to eat lunch, shop, experience the fall foliage, and enjoy the tastes of homemade apple pie, cider & much more. Lunch will be at one’s own and there are a few restaurants to choose from in Julian; participants should bring money for lunch and souvenirs. The cost of this trip is $20.00 and does not include lunch; the bus departs from the Hart Park House Senior Center at 8:00 a.m. and will return to Sierra Madre at 6:00 p.m. Last day to register is Thursday, October 9th. Level of Walking: Medium to Low.

Camel Rides

Camel rides are available after the group tour. The camel rides are the county fair, around in a big circle, hand-led kind of ride. The price is $10.00 per person and we need a minimum of 15 people to sign up for the camel rides to occur. If you are interested in the ride please let staff know when you register for the excursion. If the minimum number is met, staff will follow up with you regarding payment. Please note that there is a 200lb weight limit to ride the camels.
