Open to ALL students!
Join our hands-on, experiential program for learners ages 3-15. Our interactive approach fulfills California standards by introducing age-specific content and developing research skills. Over each 8-week session, students explore as field biologists, recording observations, evaluating problems, and developing solutions. Classes are grouped by age.

What We’re Doing to Keep Your Kids Safe
- Outdoor Ed is held exclusively outside, with shaded areas, in a designated zone away from the public
- Educators will each have a sanitation kit to wash all surfaces before and after use as well as sanitize students’ hands as necessary
- No early drop-off or late pick-up options to minimize cross-contact with additional staff
- Students will stay in assigned groups all day/week with the same instructor
