Our Outdoor Education program takes learning beyond the classroom with hands-on, unforgettable experiences. From exploring tide pools and studying marine life to panning for gold in Coloma or tackling team-building challenges, every trip sparks curiosity, builds resilience, and strengthens teamwork.
 
These adventures not only bring science and the curriculum to life but also help students grow personally, discover new strengths, and create lasting memories.
