Outdoor Education

Join our hands-on, experiential program for early education learners (ages 3–5) and homeschool students (ages 3–15). Our interactive approach fulfills California standards by introducing age-specific content and developing research skills. Over each 8-week semester, students explore scientific topics via recording observations, evaluating problems, and developing solutions. Classes are grouped by age; winter, spring, and fall sessions offered.
