First - "Flight School". This would be an easel auction, with room for 10 or 12 kids and be about 4 hours long. My husband and I own a small airplane that is hangared at the Scappoose Airport. The day would include a picnic lunch, "flight school" which would educate the kids and parents about the different parts of an airplane and how they work, instruments, what makes flight possible, weather and so on. The children would be able to sit in the cockpit, have their picture taken and be taxied around the airport in groups of 2 or three. As Glen is a private pilot (meaning unable to accept compensation for flying), and for liability's sake - we are NOT offering a flight. This would more aptly be called "Ground School" but it sounds much more exciting and cool referring to flight. ;)
Second - "Massage-a-Month" package. I'm a massage therapist, and have many friends who are as well. I'm approaching my circle and asking for a donated gift certificate from each, hopefully as many as twelve so that the package would include one massage a month for a year.
Third - "Guided Geocaching". This may be included in our class staycation, not sure. But we have a GPS and have done a lot of caching in the easy level of searching. It's a lot of fun, and gets people out and about into areas they might not otherwise go. Simple to do either in the Portland area or elsewhere in the state. Treasure hunting at it's finest! :)
