A UNIQUE NATURE CAMP PROGRAM
Our facility sits on 13 acres of Monterey pine forest surrounded by protected land with fantastic views of the Pacific Ocean. This unique location, with access to both the forest and the ocean, has allowed us to develop a comprehensive curriculum and exciting excursions based on fascinating ecosystems. Our lessons are immersive and hands-on, designed around concepts integral to Next Generation Science Standards. During the day, students hike through the Monterrey Pine forest, observe and hold snakes, and explore local tidepools. In the evenings, meet our live great horned owl, dissect their own squid, and observe the night skies.OUR GOALS
We aim to cultivate and nurture students' innate curiosity. We do so by encouraging them to ask questions, explore, and inquire about the world around them. The program promotes an environment where campers feel safe and encouraged to wonder about the natural phenomena they encounter.
CREATING CONNECTIONS
Exploration leads to knowledge. Students will get their hands dirty, turn over rocks at the tide pools, and use their senses to explore the world around them as they seek answers to the questions that they’ve asked.
EXPLORING NATURE
When students work together to answer their own questions, powerful connections are formed. Students connect what they discover at science camp to the concepts that they learn in school. Equally important: the connections that they’ll form with each other along the way.
