Kindergarten & 1st Grade – Tanaka Farms
5th Grade
Astrocamp (3 day trip)
7th Grade
*Catalina (3 day trip)
*The unique kelp beds of Catalina Island are an ideal setting for hands-on outdoor education opportunities. Students learn in a variety of ways, from snorkeling adventures to nature hikes to laboratory activities to interactive slide shows and discussions. Our program explores how we can live more sustainably on this planet and what this generation of young people can do to make a difference.
8th Grade
*Washington D.C. (5-day trip)
*The 8th graders visit the actual places they study during History! The trip explores places like Colonial Williamsburg and Pamplin Parks’ Museum of the Civil War Soldiers. Students sit in the midst of a reenactment of Patrick Henry’s rousing speech delivered at St. John’s Church. Arlington Cemetery is toured, and the rich history of our country’s heroes is brought to life. Students visit Smithsonian Museums, Ford’s Theater, The National Cathedral, and more monuments and memorials. The treasures of the Capitol Building, the National Archives, and the Library of Congress are examined firsthand. The students even have dinner with Thomas Jefferson in Yorktown, where they were able to ask him questions about his life and the ideas that shaped our Constitution. The focus of this trip is on education and fun!
