Ventura EcoFest

Ventura EcoFest

Ventura EcoFest 2024 was a great success!

SEE YOU NEXT YEAR! SUNDAY, APRIL 27, 2025

 

Thank you for your participation and support in 2024.

This event is Ventura Charter School’s largest fundraiser and brings in the lion’s share of the funds that help enrich our fully public school education. The dollars raised go to field trips, classroom grants and activities like the school play and campout. Your participation in Ventura Charter School’s EcoFest is a key component of creating a family friendly event that celebrates our amazing community.

We had over 40 exhibitors in attendance and an audience of over 2500 people throughout the day. Live music, a light breeze and plenty of sunshine. We could not have asked for a better day!

Ventura Charter School's annual Earth Day EcoFest has grown each year since it began in 2007 and draws thousands of visitors who come to enjoy a beautiful day outdoors in celebration of Mother Earth, life, and green living. In addition to providing engaging entertainment, we are committed to help kindle awareness and appreciation for the Earth's natural environment, as well as provide a showcase for local businesses engaged in green technologies and approaches to sustainable living. Ventura Charter School is proud to have received the "Globie" award from the City of Ventura two years in a row for Community Activism for our involvement and support of the environment.

Environmental Education at Ventura Charter School focuses on environmental literacy-- learning about and caring for the total environment, understanding how humans interact with and are dependent on natural ecosystems, and developing critical-thinking skills to resolve environmental issues. Stewardship of the earth is a fundamental tenant of the School vision. An awareness of the fragility of the ecosystems is crucial as well as the development of a strong sense of responsibility for protecting, preserving, and restoring the earth for future generations.
