By: The Treehouse Looking to fill the house on preview night the The Treehouse has announced “Pick Your Price Preview Night.” Families reserve their spot at sdtreehouse.com and are given the option to pay retail price now for dinner or wait until after dinner to decide what they feel dinner was worth to them. “We’ll show you the suggested retail price and you pay whatever it is you feel led to based on your experience and love of the cause, said Jackie Luper, Founder.” Even if you just pay $1 for a family of four we’ll still give $0.10 to your charity. We believe in The Treehouse, and we’re confident after you experience it, you will too!” The space at the Treehouse was designed for kids with the help of Jackie Luper and her Husband Michael Wiener and their kids. They say not only do they have kids, but they know how to engage children. “If goofy, giggly 7, 8 and 8-year-olds weren’t enough of a testimony, we’ve been making first – fifth graders crack up for what seems like ages at the kids ministry at the Rock North County Children’s Ministry, area sports leagues and volunteering with our kid’s classrooms. We love the imagination, spirit and simplistic smarts of kids these days and we want to engage with them,” said Luper. The Treehouse has a sweeping 30 foot activity wall with three distinct areas to captivate kids’ attention, they includes areas to relax, create and play. In the Relax area Kids can watch the goings on inside a terrarium hopping with fun little critters. They can also chill out with a fun book, or play some fun apps on the kindle there or maybe play a game of Pictionary on a white board, or try to whirl the waters in a mini tornado maker. The create area contains a large selection of hands-on items for kids to use their imagination. Kids can create from scratch with stickers, paper, stamps and crayons or take one of the craft kits and make a ladybug or design their own paper airplane. Magical Treehouse scratch off sheets are also on hand, and silly fun house mirrors are everywhere to catch a glimpse of themselves fat or skinny. In the play area The Treehouse has mounted two more kindles pre-loaded with fun family-friendly apps – an extra large jenga, bean bag toss game and all kinds of magnetic games, tic tac toe, chess, hangman and checkers. There’s another white board over there for drawing or playing word games. The wall is also speckled with top secret QR codes that kids can use their parents smart phone to scan and see what funny, silly, family-friendly links show up on the other side… as well as two large televisions which sometimes playing family classics, other times playing mom and dad’s favorite live sports. The Treehouse isn’t just a play place though; they are serious about their food and supporting area farms and sustainable farming practices. The Treehouse produce is gathered from Southern California farms. They say they buy organic as much as possible while keeping the meal price something that parents can feel good about. Without approved animal processing facilities in San Diego, The Treehouse ensures their out of area animal protein suppliers are carefully selected making sure their organization is in line current Non-GMO, vegetarian diet, sustainably farmed, pasture raised, no antibiotics and free range best practices. “Food at The Treehouse is fun too,” said Jackie, for mom and dad we’ve created some super flavorful, fun new American menus. Take our preview night meal for example. Chicken Chai spiced Asian meatballs with a sweet/spicy radish slaw, followed by a fun bright citrus salad with, mint, house made fresh strawberry vinaigrette and toasted pine nuts. That will get your pallet jazzed for the main course which is a SoCal new Orleans fusion bayou dirty rice chalk full of house made Cajun spiced pork sausage, rice cooked in our house chicken stock, cilantro, jalapeno, green onions, Anaheim peppers, Cotija cheese and top it all off with blackened chicken. Wash all of this down with a great IPA, pale ale beer offering. For the non-drinkers we have amazing house made sparking strawberry lemonade.” The kid’s meal is variation on the grown up versions. Kids simple yummy chicken meatball with organic ketchup, caterpillar salad kabobs with strawberry and grapes and for the main course either white or not-so-spicy dirty rice with sustainably raised chicken on a stick. If all of that weren’t enough of a new eatery concept for the area, The Treehouse has a new twist on doing good in the community as well. “Now, the best part is every meal starts with you picking which local organization or cause that 10% of your purchases benefit every single time you come,” said Jackie. “It’s our mission to do something in our community, not only with 10% of every meal going to your causes, but also by volunteering our time and talents in the community. Join us, and be the change in the world you want to see.” Jackie, Michael and others volunteers get together the fourth Tuesday of every month at Bread of Life Rescue Mission in Oceanside. It’s a ministry dedicated to helping the down and out and homeless and is the only one of its kind on North County. Jackie, Michael and volunteers feed from 75 to 100+ people there each month. This Carlsbad start up is really a mini-version of what The Treehouse founders say is the start of something much bigger. They hope to raise funding through this small location and their crowdsourcing campaign on indegogo.com. “Think an acre outdoors, with sprawling areas for kids to run and play, families at picnic tables, amazing food, live music, someone there to lead the kids in fun activities. Grown ups, chatting, having a frosty cold beverage all while knowing the kids are having the time of their lives,” said Jackie. “And we’re eating good food, not just starchy, cheesy pizza. Don’t get me wrong I love pizza, but why is it the only place you can have a quality craft beer while the kids run around, and why does it cost you $20 bucks in quarters on top of it to make it happen. It’s just wrong, give us real food and beer and keep that crappy vending machine stuff out of our house, let the kids play, let the kids run!” The Treehouse is located at the Poinsettia Coaster Station in Carlsbad at The Shops at Bluwater Crossing.
